Book summaryThis biography of James Joyce's troubled daughter, Lucia, emphasizes the creative spark she inherited from her father and her work as a dancer before her hospitalization for schizophrenia in the 1930s. Media reviews"Carol Loeb Shloss's strenuous, emotional attempt to fish Lucia up from the depths of incarceration and obliteration has to do battle with very weighty pressures, giving her book a strained, excitable, defiant air....And even if, like me, you are skeptical of Shloss's devout belief in Lucia as her father's second self, this biography will certainly alert you to her presence, should you ever be reading FINNEGAN'S WAKE -- a pathetic, vanishing figure, flitting through her father's book." |
