Publisher's Synopsis
The semi-autobiographical experimental classic, beautifully repackaged with a stunning J for Joyce on the cover. It all begins with a letter. Fall in love with Penguin Drop Caps, a new series of 26 collectible and hardcover editions, each with a type cover showcasing a gorgeously illustrated letter of the alphabet for each author's surname. J is for Joyce. From its chronicling of youthful days at Clongowes Wood school to the radical questioning of all convention and experimentation with authority and authorship, this depicts the life of Stephen Dedalus in his Dublin upbringing.
