The book being a true page turner (well, assuming you are interested in Joyce work and life) the listening would have been a great joy too, were it only not for the utterly inadequate renderings of the numerous quotations in French, German and Italian. This fatal stab on Joyce key languages of expression is only partially compensated by the very sonorous and melodic voice with what seems a mild Irish accent that is very fitting for Joyce's quotations in English

Mesmerising book, partially adequate reading

great to know more about She the penman. A true genius and life brilliantly told and narrated.

Really great biography, however, there are several passages in languages other than English which are not translated. Obviously a problem if you are not fluent in French, Latin, German and Italian. With respect to the reader, who does a good job, his pronunciation of French is not great so even if you do speak those languages you might not understand. Doesn’t spoil overall enjoyment of the book though.

Excellent book. Foreign language quotations in reading a problem.

What was one of the most memorable moments of James Joyce?

Joyce meeting Proust and both complaining about their health.

What do you think the narrator could have done better?

He has no legato, so he .......puts in .....strange........pauses. Some strangled French and Italian to boot.

Any additional comments?

Despite the slightly odd reading (which is perfectly acceptable) this remains a truly remarkable biography. Every page is fascinating and the advantage over Gordon Bowker's fine effort (also recommended) is the analysis of the works and the sheer breadth of the research and scholarship. A monumental achievement.

Brilliant Biography, slightly odd reading.
