James Joyce & The Lake

[alice wellintown]

On this day in 1934, the U.S. Court of Appeals upheld an earlier
ruling allowing James Joyce's Ulysses into America. This enabled
Random House to issue the first U.S. edition, over a decade after
Sylvia Beach's original Paris edition; according to Random House
editor Bennett Cerf, the case hinged entirely and hilariously upon one
of these smuggled Beach editions.

In 1886 Moore published Confessions of a Young Man, a lively and
energetic memoir about his 20s spent in Paris and London among
bohemian artists.[16] It contains a substantial amount of literary
criticism for which it has received a fair amount of praise,[16][17]
for instance The Modern Library chose it in 1917 to be included in the
series as "one of the most significant documents of the passionate
revolt of English literature against the Victorian tradition." (Wiki)

His best work is a novel, The Lake.
