James Joyce's Ulysses:
The Novel of the Century
"Storiella as she is syung. London: Corvinus Press, 1937. Also a pre-publication fragment from "Work in Progress" (Finnegans Wake). One of 175 copies bound in orange vellum, with an initial letter by Lucia Joyce. By 1936, Lucia had been hospitalized repeatedly, although Joyce's attitude was still that she was no madder than her father. It is clear that Joyce hoped her involvement in creating initials for his work would prove therapeutic."
