@PhilosophyExp First time I heard about Nora Barnacle I thought she must be one of his characters! Would not be out of place in Dickens.
People should read the James Joyce/Nora Barnacle correspondence. It's surprisingly... racey in places.

@JohnERhino Well, of course, she was at least in part the inspiration for Molly Bloom. Brenda Maddox's biography of her is very good. -
@PhilosophyExp Thanks. I might find a biography easier going than some of Joyce's books! Thoroughly enjoying yours at the mo by the way. -
@JohnERhino Glad you're enjoying mine. Thx! I spent 6 months reading Ulysses, using various guides, biographies, etc, to get it straight.

@PhilosophyExp The first time I read Joyce’s letters to her my reaction was “wait, he wanted her to do *what* to him? No waaay!” (¬‿¬) -
@mirandachale I know! Father Arnall would have had a fit...! :)
