Pretty but monotonous and, except for one poem which is only a marginal exception, almost instantly forgettable.
13 sobere, lyrische gedichten ('a baker's dozen') geschreven tussen 1904 en 1924, elk met een hoog autobiografisch lamentogehalte. Eerst uitgegeven in 1927 door Sylvia Beach van Shakespeare & Co voor de prijs van 1 shilling of 12 pennies (het dertiende gedicht is een 'tilly' of toemaatje). Niet enkel voor Joyceanen, dankzij het helder nawoord en de aantekeningen van vertaler Paul Claes, die een klankrijke vertaling van de muzikale gedichten vooropstelde (hij spreekt zelf van 'liedjesteksten'). Alweer een bijzondere uitgave van Koppernik (http://www.koppernik.nl/).

Tweetalige uitgave van 13 vrij toegankelijke, min of meer autobiografische gedichten. Nawoord van vertaler Paul Claes, die nadruk legt op de muzikaliteit en de gedichten duidt als 'liedjesteksten'.

James Joyce was born on February 2, 1882, in Dublin, Ireland, into a large Catholic family. Joyce was a very good pupil, studying poetics, languages, and philosophy at Clongowes Wood College, Belvedere College, and the Royal University in Dublin. Joyce taught school in Dalkey, Ireland, before marrying in 1904. Joyce lived in Zurich and Triest, show more teaching languages at Berlitz schools, and then settled in Paris in 1920 where he figured prominently in the Parisian literary scene, as witnessed by Ernest Hemingway's A Moveable Feast. Joyce's collection of fine short stories, Dubliners, was published in 1914, to critical acclaim. Joyce's major works include A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, Ulysses, Finnegans Wake, and Stephen Hero. Ulysses, published in 1922, is considered one of the greatest English novels of the 20th century. The book simply chronicles one day in the fictional life of Leopold Bloom, but it introduces stream of consciousness as a literary method and broaches many subjects controversial to its day. As avant-garde as Ulysses was, Finnegans Wake is even more challenging to the reader as an important modernist work. Joyce died just two years after its publication, in 1941.
