Hope and future are not the terms with which James Joyce has
usually been read, but this book paints a picture of Joyce's
fiction in which hope and future assume the primary colours. Rando
explores how Joyce's texts, as early as Dubliners and A Portrait of
the Artist as a Young Man, delineate a complex hope that is
oriented toward the future with restlessness, dissatisfaction, and
invention. He examines how Joyce envisions alternatives to the
prevailing conventions of hope throughout his works and, in Ulysses
and Finnegans Wake, develops formal techniques of spatializing hope
to contemplate it from all sides. Casting fresh light on the ways
in which hope animates key aspects of Joyce's approach to literary
content and form, Rando moves beyond the limitations of negative
critique and literary historicism to present a Joyce who thinks
agilely about the future, politics, and possibility.
