Nora : A Biography of Nora Joyce par Brenda Maddox
Including the History of the bought papers
Molly Bloom's life is more interesting than that of James Joyce.
This summer I had an urge to read something about Rosalind Franklin, the scientist who actually discovered the structure of DNA and died young at 37. I liked this biography but I was struck by how often the author quoted friends, colleagues, and associates who commented on Franklin's looks...she was "quite striking," "pretty." I guess it was the 1940s and '50s and that was how women were judged but I thought it was excessive. Now I want to read The Double Helix by James Watson.
I'm pass my James Joyce phase. I will come back to this book though.
