Publisher Synopsis
'The overall quality is exceptionally high.' James Joyce Literary Supplement Fall 2011 'I can confirm that the book is even better than the cover - a truly tasty, haute-cuisine omelette of Joyce criticism. - I will say that Conley's collection offers a stimulating introduction to the context that produced both the Exagmination and the Wake. Starting with Eugene Jolas's transition journal where the chapters from 'Work in Progress' were first published, as well as most of the essays in Our Exagmination, it situates Joyce's aesthetic project in relation to the great literary, cultural, and political debates of late modernism. - Conley claims that, unlike Joyce, he has given very few directions to his commentators and that, as a result, each felt free to react accordingly to his or her own sensibility and expertise. The result is a collection of diverse readings both prolonging the tradition and reaffirming the importance of the Exagmination since - as Conley notes - 'The "Joyce industry" starts here.'
