Joyces Mistakes

More about the book

Exploring the concept of 'error' in art, Tim Conley delves into the works of James Joyce, particularly Ulysses and Finnegans Wake, to reveal an 'aesthetic of error' that challenges conventional interpretations. He examines how Joyce's innovative approaches complicate textual authority and influence both readers and critics. By situating Joyce alongside contemporaries like Melville and Proust, Conley highlights the significance of misreadings as critical experiments, ultimately providing a profound analysis of the interplay between error and literary theory.
