This book addresses James Joyce’s borderlessness andthe ways his work crosses or unsettles boundaries of all kinds. The essays inthis volume position borderlessness as a major key to understanding Joyceanpoiesis, opening new doors and new engagements with his work.
Contributors begin by exploring the circulation ofJoyce’s writing in Latin America via a transcontinental network of writers and translators,including José Lezama Lima, José Salas Subirat, Leopoldo Marechal, EdmundoDesnoës, Guillermo Cabrera Infante, and Augusto Monterroso. Essays then consider Joyce through the lens of thesciences, presenting theoretical interventions on posthumanist parasitology in Ulysses; on Giordano Bruno’s coincidenceof opposites in Finnegans Wake; andon algorithmic agency in the Wake.Cutting-edge cognitive narratology is applied to the “Penelope” episode.
Next, the volume features innovative essays on Joycein relation to early animated film and comics, engaging with animated film inthe “Circe” episode, Joyce’s points of contact with George Herriman’s cartoonstrip Krazy Kat, and structuralaffinities between open-world gaming and FinnegansWake. The final essays focus on abiding human concerns, offering newresearch on Joyce’s creative use of “spicy books”; a Lacanian consideration of“The Dead” alongside Katherine Mansfield’s “The Stranger” and Haruki Murakami’s“Kino”; and a meditation on Joyce’s uncertainties about the boundary betweenlife and death.
ForJoyce, borders are problems—butones that provided precious fodder for his art. And as this volumedemonstrates, they encourage brilliant reflections on his work, from newscholars to leading luminaries in the field.

Literally meaning green rock, this term was used to describe the way the world was, back in the days of the beginning. Those were the days when Dagoththe first eviland his servants arrived in the world and began an epic war with the four houses of immortals. Those were the days when Kingsteel, a mortal man and warrior smith, defeated Dagothand there was hope.
Those days have gone. Kingsteel is long dead. The might of his blood is lost, and the four houses have grown secretive. In their shadow, the villages of men and dwarfs developed into vast empiresand turned against each other.
But then, people came who paved new roads to new places, crafted out of the rubble of the past. Far from war and on the edge of the wild, they built cities reborn from the ashes.
Two young heroes in the makingthe gentle giant Erik Iron Rod and the girl of his dreams, Gayle Fletcherjoin forces with two mysterious adventurers: Jase, a Quadrian Elf swordsman, and Fenrix, the famous hunter of dragons. Although raised in a peaceful farming town, Gayle and Erik quickly find themselves swept up on a world of war and enchantment teetering on the edge of ruin.
For Gayle, the girl who would be queen, the future is yet to be written.
