In this prequel to his Finnegan's Wake: A Plot Summary , Gordon (English, Connecticut College) argues that Joyce was a realist, but "Joyce's realism was different from ours." Blending new and earlier material, he goes beyond the usual readings of the psychological reality of Joyce's stream-of-consciousness writing in presenting examples of references in his major works that reflect belief in his era's pseudoscience. The subtitle is intended "to lure the cultural studies crowd." Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. "Joyce was a realist, but his reality was not ours," writes John Gordon in his new book. Here, he maintains that the shifting styles and techniques of Joyce's works is a function of two interacting realities - the external reality of a particular time and place and the internal reality of a character's mental state. In making this case Gordon offers up a number of new readings: how Stephen Dedalus conceives and composes his villanelle; why the Dubliners story about Little Chandler is titled "A Little Cloud"; why MacDowell suddenly appears and disappears; what is happening when Leopold Bloom looks for two minutes at a beer bottle's label; why the triangle etched at the center of Finnegans Wake doubles itself and grows a pair of circles; why the next to last chapter of Ulysses has, by far, the book's highest incidence of the letter C; and who is the man in the macintosh. Gordon, whose authoritative Finnegans Wake: A Plot Summary received critical acclaim and is considered one of the standard references, revises - and challenges - the received version of that reality. For instance, Joyce features ghost visitations, telepathy, and other para-normal phenomena not as "flights into fantas Joyce was a realist, but his reality was not ours, writes John Gordon in his new book. Here, he maintains that the shifting styles and techniques of Joyce's works is a function of two interacting realities - the external reality of a particular time and place and the internal reality of a character's mental state.
