Follow on Google News | ![]() The Last Words of James Joyce by James Broderick, available now from Histria BooksBy: Histria Books The Last Words of James Joyce is a modern-day literary treasure hunt, feverishly churning through the worlds of social media, academic conferences, sanitariums, porn movie sets and late-night diners, with a cast of characters who'd be right at home in the wildest Joycean fantasy, all drawn by the prospect of the literary find of the century: an unpublished work by the master modernist and literary icon himself. Both playful and profound, this modern quixotic adventure explores the life of a neglected and heroic woman and her legacy as the keeper of strange and dark secrets, and the scramble for fame, fortune, and infamy that her silence spawned. But as this novel reminds us, some voices simply can't be stilled — not by time, death, or deceit — and what we think are lost words sometimes turn out instead to be last words. James Broderick is a professor of English at New Jersey City University. He is the author of several works of non-fiction, a previous novel, and an off-off Broadway play. He and his wife, Miri, live in Glen Ridge, New Jersey. The Last Words of James Joyce, 260 pp., ISBN 978-1-59211- End
