He was James Joyce’s grandson, and was known -- says the article -- “for his fierce guardianship of his grandfather’s works...” That is, if anything, an understatement. Stephen was the terror of academia and many a scholar suffered from his legal attentions for unauthorized quotations from James Joyce’s material.
As a former academic myself (well, sort of), it is hard for me to fully understand or sympathize with Stephen Joyce’s position. Still, you have to admire his energy and tenacity. He was definitely the sort of defender every family needs.
Particularly families that are literary.

Oh, and it is lavishly illustrated by yours truly.
It’s on Gumroad as a PDF about 52 pages long.
How to download: look at the image of the book and the text below. Scroll down until you see the words “Name A Fair Price.” In the blank space below that, type “0” — that is, a zero, because the book is free. Then click on the button below that which is marked “I want this!” After that, you should be given the option of either downloading the book and reading it at your leisure, or reading it on the Gumroad site. Either way, I hope you enjoy it!
