Description

Edna O'Brien explores the life of James Joyce, one of Ireland's most celebrated writers, in this biography that coincides with the 100th anniversary of Ulysses. Joyce's life was marked by turmoil and creativity, as he navigated the challenges of his family, society, and his own artistic vision.

O'Brien sheds light on Joyce's early years, his relationship with Nora Barnacle, and his struggles with debt and isolation. She also examines his later years, when he felt increasingly disconnected from the world, and asks how this could have been the case for a man who knew that conflict was the source of all creation.

This biography offers a fresh perspective on Joyce's life and work, and is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in understanding the complexities of this iconic author.
