Reviews

``Joyce was so little of a visual writer that he created characters one can hardly see,'' writes Anthony Burgess in his introduction to this array of images of James Joyce. But photographers loved him. And why not? With his arsenal of eye patches and dark glasses, his occasional goatee and cane, Joyce presented the very image of high modernism, the platonic ideal of the artist in exile. Many of the photographs here chosen by Cato, an award-winning art director and designer, and Vitiello (The Technology of Man, not reviewed) will be familiar to readers of Richard Ellman's biography (particularly the one of Joyce at 6, wearing a sailor's suit and looking at the camera as if he could read its mind); others are published here for the first time. In addition to photographs of Joyce (with his father, Nora, their children, Ezra Pound, Sylvia Beach, and others), there are drawings by various artists, including Brancusi and David Levine. -- Copyright ©1994, Kirkus Associates, LP.

James Joyce is remarkably alluring, and it's not just the writing. There's something about the figure of old Kinch himself with his walking stick and thick spectacles that's compelling. This heavily illustrated extravaganza (90 photographs in all) celebrates the great artist in all his incarnations from Dublin boyhood to elder years. Except for the mustache, he looks the same throughout-his is a face scratched in stone from birth. The late Anthony Burgess's introduction provides a brief biography on Joyce, and the volume is capped off with a chronology of his life. The main course of this sumptuous feast, however, is the portfolio of photos and drawings, many familiar (by Man Ray and Berenice Abbott, for instance) but many published here for the first time. Though unfortunately a bit pricey, this is nevertheless a rich gallery of portraits of the artist that no true Joycean should be without. Recommended for serious literature collections.
