James Joyce

Portrait of James Joyce. Actually entitled: "James Joyce: Author of the world's longest sentence" - I came across this fact in old Guinness Book of Records and thought how ridiculous. Not exactly the main reason people will have heard of him. But it also inspired me to do an etching of Plennie L Wingo, the man who walked backwards. I'll upload that some time. Copyright David Abse
