About the Author
Hugh Kenner, the Andrew W. Mellon Professor of the Humanities at the Johns Hopkins University, is the author of numerous books on James Joyce and other subjects. He is the author of The Counterfeiters: An Historical Comedy and Ulysses, revised edition.
Reviews
Kenner's work is an achievement of a polymath: it ranges from Jonathan Swift to Flaubert, and from Dickens to T. S. Eliot, circling around its two main concerns: Joyce's Ulysses and the death of objectivity as a privileged style in modern literature.
As always, Kenner is original, provocative, stimulating, occasionally perverse, and immensely readable . . . The book offers important new insights into Joyce's art.
The volume is easy to handle and a delight to read. And Kenner's leaping wit, his metaphors, his transitions from insight to insight, his lively attention to Joyce's invention these qualities make it difficult, if you pick it up one evening, not to finish it before turning off the light.
