The Sayings of James Joyce

Although he spent his adult life on the Continent, James Joyce was a quintessentially Irish writer. Many critics have expended a great deal of energy in their attempts to analyse his work, and he continues to delight the reader with his imaginative word-play, his extraordinary ear for language, his sense of comedy and his exceptionally vivid powers of invention. This fascinating collection of his sayings, drawn mostly from his novels and short stories, will both delight his devotees and inspire those less familiar with his work.
