Live Coals

This collection of essays by L. M. Budgen, a close friend and associate of James Joyce, provides a unique window into the mind of one of the greatest literary figures of the 20th century. Drawing on his intimate knowledge of Joyce's work, Budgen offers insightful and often provocative analyses of Joyce's major works, including Ulysses and Finnegans Wake. But Live Coals is much more than just a commentary on Joyce; it is a fascinating exploration of the nature of literature and the role of the artist in society.
