The review is quite positive and enthusiastic one passage reads in part "His book is not alone an admirable work of art and thought; it is also a cry of revolt: it is the desire of a new artist to look upon the world with other eyes to bring to the front his individual theories and to compel a listless public to reflect that there are another literature and another esthetic apprehension beyond those foisted upon us.

19574587New York: New Directions 1957. First Edition thus. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. First Edition thus with introduction by Edel. Very good copy in a very good dust jacket. Perhaps too much has been made of this book being Joyce's inspiration for his stream-of-consciousness method but Dujardin's minor place as a point of interest to Joyce scholars is nevertheless secure. Joyce first read the book in French in 1902; it was republished in 1924 soon after Joyce acknowledged its importance to him. This copy has been inscribed by Leon Edel who has provided an introduction for this edition: "Fredrica Laudon with fond memories of our talks last summer in Edgarton and the affectionate regards of Leon Edel. New York 1958." <br/><br/> New Directions hardcover
