"James Joyces often remarked that his wit, gift for storytelling, and many of his characters came from his outrageous father, John Stanislaus Joyce. Until now, this charismatic, influential father has been little more than a literary footnote. In this vivid, readable, and rich biography, Joyce scholars John Wyse Jackson and Peter Costello show us John Joyce as we've never seen him before - a formidable father, storyteller, drinker, and patriot who held a profound place in the imagination of his first surviving son". Based on the work of James Joyce. Biography of John Stanislaus Joyce. Time Period. Locale: Dublin. (Biography, Family Relationships, Fathers, Novelists).
