About this book
Reviews
“This collection will be a touchstone for those interested in engaging in critical questions about Joyce’s nonfiction. It accomplishes its core mission, … proving that the ‘habitual distinction between nonfiction and fiction is distinctly subordinate’ … .” (Julie McCormick Weng, James Joyce Literary Supplement, Vol. 33 (1), 2019)
“Although regularly cited, Joyce’s non-fictional writings have usually been seen as occasional and secondary. This volume treats them comprehensively and synoptically for the first time and illuminatingly uncovers the variegated impulses motivating this work. Triumphantly, these essays prove the centrality of Joyce’s non-fiction to his artistic enterprise and firmly resituate it as part of, not ancillary to, his radical, modernist experimentation.” (Professor Anne Fogarty, University College Dublin, Ireland)“This book will change the way we read Joyce’s career as a writer of experimental prose. Ebury and Fraser have compiled an impressive line-up of contributions that unsettle critical notions tenaciously insisting on distinguishing between Joyce’s non-fiction and his fictional writing. Because it probes how scholars establish cultural hierarchies in the assessment of modernist writing this informative, wide-ranging and timely collection should be of interest to anyone working on Joyce today.” (Professor Vike Martina Plock, University of Exeter, UK)
“With the publication of this book, it becomes impossible to lump Joyce’s writing into two discrete categories, fiction and non-fiction. The penetrating and original essays collected here by Fraser and Ebury complicate that relationship while demonstrating the value of paying serious attention to the various kinds of writing traditionally classified as non-fiction. This book is essential reading for anyone wanting a full picture of Joyce’s achievement.” (Professor Derek Attridge, University of York, UK)
