5.0 out of 5 stars A well deserved revival, 11 Jun 2000
This review is from: Nora: Biography of Nora Joyce (Paperback)
Nora is back among us. The release of the movie has , perhaps, something to do with it. And it is almost unbelievable that a book like this one, has no reviews in the pages of Amazon, where piles of trashy literature are analysed and talked about. This biography of James Joyce wife is one of the finest and best written (and researched)of the 20th century.(1st published in England in 1988)Tell us the story of a woman with a fierce determination and a strong personality that was for years overshadowed by his genius husband. She wouldn't mind, because she was very good at being herself.But she had a decisive influence in James, both in his work as in his character. She "made him a man" as Joyce wrote.
