Klappentext This reader-friendly introduction makes Joyce asscessible by combining the excitement of reading his words with the excitement of interpreting them. Zusammenfassung The difficulties that students face when tackling Joyce's works are addressed by focusing on plot! implying that the "real" books are hidden behind the author's complex language and style.
