A celebration of the transformative effects of James Joyce's time in TriesteJoyce in Trieste is a record of the transformation in text, meaning, and language that Trieste worked upon Joyce. This volume begins with three path-breaking essays: Michael Groden's unveiling of the manuscripts acquired by the National Library of Ireland in 2002, Margot Norris's introduction of the particularly effective paradigm of "risky reading" to describe the provocative re-contextualizations in history, theory, and culture that reveal something new about Joyce's work, and Zack Bowen's celebration of the Platonic and erotic qualities of Joyce's language. Each essay opens up to a section that follows the opening lead: essays on manuscript genetics following Groden, a political set of essays following Norris, and a set of essays on language following Bowen. Included are some final thoughts from the late Hugh Kenner, work from Joyceans such as Vike Martina Plock and Dirk Van Hulle, and political studies of Israel and Palestine. This volume provides a lively and useful summary of recent and future directions of Joyce scholarship and will be of particular interest to Joyce and Irish studies scholars as well as those interested in provocative readings of twentieth-century literature.

Reading James Joyce's Ulysses through the lens of puzzles and language playEmbracing improbable and wildly anachronistic connections, Sebastian Knowles has devised an approach to reading Ulysses that makes its author less of a modernist and more of a prophet of contemporary science, literature, and critical thought.The Dublin Helix is a puzzle book, taking as its method James Joyce's own playful manipulations of language and matching them with entertaining word searches, acrostics, and other enigmas. Knowles finds ways into Ulysses that have never before been imagined, from Mary Shelley's Frankenstein to the structure for genetic material. Each chapter presents a puzzle, and each solution completes a little more of the picture of the vital language of the modern classic. By the end, the strange and wonderful text that is Joyce’s Ulysses may be finally pieced together.Both entertainment and scholarship, the book presents Joyce scholars with much that is new, a great deal that is controversial, and an unusual willingness to allow for misreadings and bogus statements. With appendixes that can make inviting handouts (originally developed for Knowles’s own students), the book also offers an excellent introduction to a Ulysses course.
