Reviews

Eleni Loukopoulou, Independent Scholar:

"...Conley’s insatiable appetite to read Joyce for his usefulness enriches our understanding of his texts and will provoke further research and inquiry."

Mark Wollaeger:

"Useless Joyce provides an implicit defense of literary pleasure, with the teacher-critic serving as mediator of that pleasure."

R.D. Newman:

‘Highly recommended.’

Valérie Bénéjam, Maître de conferences, Université de Nantes:

"There is little question that this is an outstanding production in the field of Joyce studies, and of very high standard. Tim Conley’s knowledge of the existing critical literature is excellent; his close readings rich and sound. Useless Joyce is also an extremely agreeable book to read – well written, never boring, always thought-provoking, and at times particularly witty."
