When you introduce Joyce's wife, Nora, you present a photo of Joyce's daughter, Lucia. You might want to correct that.
There is a standard joke: "Have you read Joyce?" "Of course, I love all of her works."
Cheers for honoring James Joyce, as a member of the Joyce clan I appreciate it. My Joyce ancestors left Ireland for the US sometime in the decades after the great famine, and I must say that some of the stories of alcoholism and domestic problems sound exactly the same as the stories I heard from my grandfather Pat Joyce about his childhood and his father. To me the contrast between the depths of despair, mental illness and alcoholism and also the undeniable artistic brilliance of James Joyce are not even really in contrast, one goes with the other
Should definitely do Michael Collins my man
If Joyce was devoted to his wife, why did he go to brothels? I was educated to admire Joyce, but now am starting to see him as a hypocrite.
Simon, I dropped a class in college because half the class was Ulysses. To explain why to my Mom I brought the book home and told her to open it anywhere and start to read. She didn’t make it through a paragraph before she just closed it and told me that she understood why. I hope that you are enjoying all the new things in your life 💕
Mistakes are the portal of discovery
* The pictures you keep showing of "Nora" are actually of James Joyce's daughter Lucia.... come on, Biographics, you can do so much better; put the work in your research!
Micheal Collins, now that we’re on Ireland, we need these lads
If by "enigmatic" you mean the text equivalent of wading in snake-infested quicksand during a tornado while drunk and huffing ether in the dark, then yeah, sure...
Visited Dublin years ago and asked the hotel barman which pubs Joyce drank in.
“When I die Dublin will be written in my heart” James Joyce
Great video, As an Irish man born in the late 70s and had parents that where in play groups and listening to a lot of Joyce stories it's great to hear somone else say it as they see it on the subject. Keep up the great work you do, Thanks.
If you wish to do other famous Irish people, here are a few:
Please do Fyodor Dostoyevsky for a bio! A man whom dealt with near death experience and the tyrannical nature of the Russian Empire of the mid 1800s. Very interesting guy!
Joyce once said (supposedly) it took him seventeen years to write Ulysses, so it should take seventeen years to read it.
Can you please please do michael collins
Always thought we were related to James Joyce, but as it turns out, our line of Joyces(proven through Y DNA testing) are descended from a Scottish man named William Joass. Our family name changed to Joss, then Joyce after our ancestors fled to county Down, Ireland in the early 1700s
Can you do one on Christy Brown, the Irish writer with cerebral palsy?
