James Joyce

Penguin / Viking, 1975

Can someone explain to me why this is out of print?

+ Quite unique and absolutely fascinating.

Unbelieveable. There is no doubting that James Joyce was one of the twentieth century's greatest writers. His contribution to modern literature is still being felt 60 years after his death. And, yet, his letters, which are as close as we will ever get to knowing what he was thinking while composing ...
