Sinossi
La storia della figlia di James Joyce, Lucia, che desiderava diventare una ballerina, ma che passò trent'anni della sua vita in un manicomio. Il rifiuto del padre alla sua carriera di ballerina probabilmente ebbe un ruolo nella sua malattia: anche se amava molto sua figlia, Joyce era infatti convinto che fosse più consono per lei rilegare libri che "fare saltelli su un palco". La vita di Lucia viene raccontata attraverso la difficile relazione con il padre (che rifiutava la sua carriera di ballerina), l'intrico bohémien della relazione tra i suoi genitori, il suo amore per Samuel Beckett, l'odio nei confronti di sua madre, infine la pazzia. Un volume "biografico" dove Mary Talbot ci espone nel dettaglio la vita di Lucia in tutta la sua miseria.

This fascinating graphic novel was part-memoir and part-biography with two coming-of-age stories simultaneously featured: that of author, Mary Talbot’s, own, and the other of Lucia Joyce’s, daughter of infamous post-modern writer, James Joyce.

This book tells the dual stories of the lives of the author, Mary Talbot, and James Joyce's daughter, Lucia Joyce. And the parallels of their lives are compared and contrasted.

Dotter of Her Father's Eyes is a book unlike any other I've read, a combined graphic biography (of Lucia Joyce, daughter of James Joyce) and autobiography (of the graphic novel's writer, Mary M. Talbot, daughter of Joyce scholar James S. Atherton and a respected academic in her own right). Talbot ha Leggi tutto
The art isn’t top shelf and the story is a bit slow in places but it was a bit entertaining. A woman finds her father’s passport and remembers her childhood. Her father was emotionally absent. Meanwhile her father is more interested in the life of the daughter of a poet’s life.
Çok keyif alarak okudum bu grafik romanı. Aynı zamanda Lucia Joyce'un hayatı beni derinden etkiledi.
