Fritz Senn

In 1929, he started to work on chapter 9 to 13, Scylla and Charybdis, Wandering Rocks, Sirens, Cyclops and Nausicaa.

He could refuse copyright or make it so expensive that it was.

Well, speaking of Joyce's grandson.

The Janke collection also contains some autographs of Joyce poems, fair copies in Joyce's hand, and some are typed.

And here we have the poem Execuer that Joyce wrote in 1932 to...

both mourn the recent death of his father and to celebrate the advent of his grandchild.

So this simultaneity of grief and joy is the topic of this letter.

Joyce really had a soft spot on his daughter-in-law, Helen Fleischmann.

There are letters which he ends with a special section to Helen, and there is even a kind of mocking hymn to Helen.

Lift up thine eyes, O daughter of Jerusalem.

This is how it starts.

And here we have this occasional short poem to Helen who complains of thinness.

It's a kind of limerick.

There once was a prodigal daughter who spent slightly more cash than she ought her, doing nothing by halves.

Now she wants fatted calves, but I'd hate to be there when they brought her.

Signed, James Jokes.

And what we have here are single or double line entries, notes for Finnegan's Wake.

They come from a very early stage of writing.

And as you can see, he crossed out lines in crayon, in red or blue.

And we know that those that he crossed out were used in later stages or survived into the published book.
