5.0 out of 5 stars
James Joyce and the Dead/Portrait,
By A Customer
This review is from: Turning 50: Quotes, Lists, and Helpful Hints (Paperback)
To William Klingaman - you have ruined our lives. Since we took your class, we've been unhealthily interested in James Joyce - we just watched a movie called "Nora" about his wife. We didn't understand...ran to the computer, read a biography on James Joyce, and looked frantically for some criticism on the film to help explain it to us. We are now in pursuit of your email address so we can make you watch it and explain it to us. You said that we couldn't think for ourselves...We now feel a need to go and read the book, along with everything he's ever written in order to get a better understanding of the movie. We are also having a JJ movie fest and plan to start a HUM book club devoted to the Irishman. HELP!
