The Joyce of Everyday Life

by Vicki Mahaffey

Book Overview

Part of James Joyce's genius was his ability to find the poetry in everyday life. For Joyce, even a simple object like a table becomes magical, "a board that was of the birchwood of Finlandy and it was upheld by four dwarfmen of that country but they durst not move more for enchantment." How might we learn to regain some of the child-like play with language and sense of delight in the ordinary that comes so naturally to Joyce?
