Joyce's fiction : LETTERS
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.From Mr Maurice O'Sullivan Sir: Just for the record, James Joyce's Ulysses has never been banned in Ireland ("Pub's last orders close door on literary legend", 14 January).
When Alan Murdoch states "Joyce was banned in Ireland until the Seventies", he may well be relying, as so many people do, on the first edition of Richard Ellman's massive biography of Joyce.
Nevertheless, this little fiction had to be corrected in subsequent editions.
Yours, MAURICE A. O'SULLIVAN Bray, Co Wicklow Eire 15 January
