Maria Jolas had hoped to make this celebration of James Joyce's work a yearly publication, but it appears that this was the only issue ever produced. It includes a number essays by Joyce's friends and admirers, as well as the short text "Ad-Writer", ascribed to James Joyce himself. As a footnote explains: "The above unsigned letter was found among Paul Léon's papers; its authorship, however, would appear to leave no doubt." Slocum and Cahoon B30.
A near fine copy.
Note: We have a number of copies of this book in stock. The copy you receive may not be the one pictured.
