James Joyce documentary

To have read Ulysses not once, or twice but thrice after many failed attempts in my younger years is, for me, the most rewarding experience of my life. Whenever in Dublin I walk through that city with Leo Bloom on my one shoulder and Joyce on the other. And I never fail to take a Ulysses walk through the city whenever I find the time. As an Indian who read this book for his graduation studies understanding very little, it is so consistently revealing to spend time in Ireland in general, and Dublin in particular, to view life through those unique glasses of Joyce. As a fellow historical victim of the English I always feel the Irish and the Indians have a lot in common than they historically realise.

Every tiny scrap of Joyce is worth seeking out and devouring. This man has drilled his way into my heart and head like no other writer of any time or any country I've ever read. James Joyce is a lifestyle. 👌

Most happily did i , finally, get around to reading Ullysses... in middle age... as a homeless squatter... through the long, dark New England Winter. I read the other works as well, but Ulysses is what stays with me most. This was a most fine Doc! In some strange way, Joyce reminds me of Bukowski...who haunted the City of my own youth...odd, this.

An excellent documentary with a superb narrator. Thank you for posting.

Just a delicious documentary, beautifully narrated and edited. Just brilliant. Thank you.

Dubliners is really a master work. Rarely has a collection of short stories crawled up inside my head like that one.

The narrator did an outstanding job on this video on James Joyce. Thanks!!!

An excellent documentary, superbly narrated. Joyce comes across as a very conflicted and troubled man with almost multiple personalities. It seems that he was an entertaining joy to know at first, but capable of becoming vindictive and vengeful if crossed. He died comparatively young and what happened to his daughter was very tragic. I found this short account of his life fascinating.

I met his nephew in a pub a couple of years ago. Very nice man!

So expansive yet so compressed. A brilliant and thought-provoking summary.

Thank you for the sketch. Most excellent wonder.

This is your best upload to date!

Thank you this very interesting documentary!!

A very well constructed and narrated commentary

Excellent, thank you. 👌💕

Thank you so very much.

Thank you very much for uploading this beautiful documentary. I adored it!

Excellent video .

Had to laugh at “Chamber Music it was a great struggle to get it out”. Since Joyce gave it that title from the sound of Nora’s urinating in the chamber pot.

Huge influence on my writing; like so many other writers. My favorite: "The Dubliners." After reading these exquisite short stories, I wrote several of my own. This is a wonderful documentary. The old photographs are remarkable, fascinating. Can you believe they turned down "A Portrait of the Artist"? The critics can be such fools. I once wanted to be a critic: art and lit. Instead, I decided to BE an artist and writer. The minute I changed my mind, I felt scorn for the critics, though I still continue to analyze the arts, a character defect, lol. It's like "analyzing" butterfly wings.
