Publisher Notes
For the first time, two Joyce scholars piece together the extraordinary life of the formidable father of writer James Joyce--storyteller, drinker, and patriot--tracing his presence in "Ulysses, Dubliners", and the rest of the younger Joyce's canon. of photos.
Media Reviews
"It is in its way a unique undertaking. Hard to think of any other father in the history of literature...who made a comparable contribution to his son's achievement."
First Line
In the last decades of James Joyce's life, visitors to his Paris flats at 2 Square Robiac, and later at 7 rue Edmond Valentin, found themselves sitting under the benign gaze of a series of family portraits in heavy gilded frames. The most recent of these, by the young Irish artist Patrick Tuohy, displayed the passionate intensity of the author's father, John Stanislaus Joyce, his ruddy face aglow with the fire of life.
