Giacomo Joyce Faber Stories

<p><b>Faber Stories, a landmark series of individual volumes, presents masters of the short story form at work in a range of genres and styles. </b><br><br><i>This heart is sore and sad. Crossed in love?</i><br><br>The manuscript of ‘Giacomo Joyce’, written in James Joyce’s best handwriting and folded between the covers of a school notebook, was discovered in Trieste. Most likely written in 1914, some of it served as a rehearsal for passages in <i>Ulysses</i>. Had Joyce meant to pillage it or publish it? Either way, this fragmented evocation of unrequited desire is, in the words of Joyce’s biographer Richard Ellmann, a work of ‘small, fragile, enduring perfection’.<br><br>With a new introduction by Colm Tóibín.<br><br><b>Bringing together past, present and future in our ninetieth year, Faber Stories is a celebratory compendium of collectable work.</b></p>
