James Joyce: A Life — Gabrielle Carey

If you know nothing about James Joyce but would like to – without the bother of reading him – this is the book for you. If you know a little about James Joyce and would like to know more but not too much, this is the book for you. And if you are a die-hard Joycean who has spent your life puzzling over his work but know nothing about his life, this is also the book for you. • Gabrielle Carey (1959 – 2023) was an Australian writer, noted for the teen novel, Puberty Blues, co-written with Kathy Lette.
