Book Synopsis
The first book to explore the role of disability in the writings of James Joyce, this volume approaches the subject both on a figurative level, as a symbol or metaphor in Joyce’s work, and also as a physical reality for many of Joyce’s characters.

Trade Review
“A go-to source for researchers interested in modernism and disability studies. It makes concrete something we’ve always known instinctively: that Joyce’s interest in representing non-normative subject positions was ongoing rather than short-lived, extensive rather than selective.”—Vike Martina Plock, author of Joyce, Medicine, and Modernity

“Addresses the major texts of Joyce, and is impressive and original in its scope. The scholarship collected here intersects with illness studies and trauma studies, and nuances our thinking about disability and disablism by way of complex, creative, and exciting readings. A book like this needs to exist.”—Janine Utell, author of James Joyce and the Revolt of Love: Marriage, Adultery, Desire
