  1. 'James Joyce: A New Biography' by Gordon Bowker: An excerpt

    <em>So</em><em> you're an admirer of James Joyce's "Ulysses"? Well, thank Trieste for that book. Why? Gordon Bowker's </em><em>"James Joyce: A New Biography" (Farrar, Straus &amp; Giroux: 608 pp., $35) shows readers how living in that seaport city in northeastern Italy helped rekindle Joyce's enthusiasm after the lackluster reception of </em><em>"Dubliners" and his </em><em>uncertainty over what readers would think of "A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man."
