Norton & Company OUR PRICE: $20.85 Product Type: Paperback - Other Formats Published: June 2000 Annotation: My book does not pretend to scholarship, only to a desire to help the average reader who wants to know Joyce's work but has been scared off by the professors. The appearance of difficulty is part of Joyce's big joke; the profundities are always expressed in good round Dublin terms; Joyce's heroes are humble men. |
