Hardcover, 400pp. From the jacket In a Spanish mental institution in 2004, a man who believes he is Christopher Columbus begins to tell his story. Nurse Consuela listens, hoping to discover what tragedy drove this educated, cultured man to retreat from reality. This Columbus is not heroic: he falls in love with every woman he meets, and, on land, he has absolutely no sense of direction. More troublingly, he is convinced a terrible tragedy is coming. Yet with each tale, Consuela draws closer to this lost navigator. (2.1 JM 0322. Signed by Author. 1st. Hardcover. Very Good/Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾".

Hardcover, 207pp, index, no illus.Hayman is a professor of Comparative Literature at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. This path-breaking volume looks at Joyce's thought processes in the years 1922-24, when he began to search for a form capable of conveying the archetypal vision of the work that eventually became Finnegans Wake. Drawing upon a vast body of archival materials, Hayman traces Joyce's progress from exploratory notes, to a crucial group of early sketches, to his conception of the Wake's family of timeless characters.
