Description

“I have mostly given my hours to Finnegan’s Wake, not to Ulysses”

ALS, one page both sides, 6 x 3.5, personal letterhead, July 19, 1955. Letter reads, in part: “It seems to me that you are on the track of something very big and far-reaching. But I have mostly given my hours to Finnegan’s Wake, not to Ulysses. The person you should send this to is that remarkable lawyer Mr. Klein…who has published explications of two books of Ulysses which reveal them to be far more complicatedly composed than we had previously thought.” In fine condition. RR Auction COA.
