Vicki Mahaffey
“A brilliant, lively guide to the joys of reading Joyce for intellectual stimulation and personal growth. With characteristic verve and lucidity, Mahaffey reminds us how Joyce’s words make us come alive to life and language as we glimpse ourselves in his nicely polished mirrors.

New-in-Paperback: John Banville, by Neil Murphy
Tuesday, 14 January 2025
John Banville offers a close analysis of most of Banville’s major novels, his Quirke crime novels, and his dramatic adaptations of Heinrich von Kleist’s plays.

His novels perpetually reveal an overt fascination with the visual arts, in particular, and with the aesthetic principle of literature as art. This study asserts that, as a whole, Banville’s work presents an elaborate and richly-textured coded account of his relationship with art and with the self-referential fictional world that his novels conjure.
