The perfect coda to Ulysses. Birmingham‘s book delves into the history of censorship and some of the key players involved while deftly blending parts of Joyce‘s biography and the many hurdles Ulysses had to face. After reading this book my theory that Joyce was a troll is further cemented. But I also feel bad for him; he suffered a lot of hardship and knowing his plight does help put Ulysses in a different perspective.
Highly recommend.
