Reminder: Bloomsday ~ 16 June 1904 (110th Anniversary) The Most Dangerous Book: The Battle for James Joyces Ulysses (Hardcover) By Kevin Birmingham semcoop/book/9781594203367 In evoking the process of publishing “Ulysses”, Mr Birmingham also offers an astute portrait of the book’s creator. Joyce’s failing eyesight—the likely result of syphilis caught as a young man—and his various operations to improve it are described in detail. If Mr Birmingham occasionally slips into academic jargon, at other moments he almost seems swept up in his own Joycean prose. Few books about publishing manage to be this gripping. Like the novel which it takes as its subject, it deserves to be read.
