Resumo

The life of Lucia Joyce, so Carol Loeb Shloss tells us, “is a story that was not supposed to be told.” (p. 11) In her attempts to recount the tale of James Joyce’s troubled daughter, Shloss met many obstacles, chief among them, she implies, the remaining members of the immediate Joyce family, and particularly Joyce’s grandson, Stephen, “the very person who ... decided that [Lucia’s] story should remain buried in the dark cellars of ‘family privacy’.” (p. 455)
