Reviews

A Preface to James Joyce (PB) by Sydney Bolt

I bought this book to understand 'Ulysses' so that, after ten years, I might get into it. I had done 'Dubliners' for 'A' level. This book illuminates and enriches both and I re-read and got much more from Dubliners and am now, at last, enjoying 'Ulysses'. Lucid, direct discussion from a master. Covers 'Portrait' and 'Finnegan's' as well.
