- Summary
- "Edna O'Brien's picture of Joyce shows the complex combative genius with his fidelity to artistic truth, virtuosity of styles and ravishing lyrical pith. But it is not simply a work of reverence, more a depiction of a man hammered by church and state and family, yet from such adversitites wrote works 'to bestir the hearts of men and angels'." "The journey begins with Joyce the arrogant youth, his lofty courtship of Nora Barnacle, their hectic sexuality, children, wanderings, debt and profligacy, and Joyce's obsession with the city of Dublin which he would re-render through his words." "Nor does Edna O'brien spare us the anger and isolation of Joyce's later years when he felt that the world had turned its back on him, and asks how could it be otherwise for a man who knew that conflict is the source of all creation. Joyce is a hero in life and in work because for him they were inextricably bound."--BOOK JACKET.
