James Joyce was educated almost exclusively by the Jesuits; this
education and these priests make their appearance across Joyce's
oeuvre. This dynamic has never been properly explicated or
rigorously explored. Using Joyce's religious education and
psychoanalytic theories of depression and paranoia, this book opens
radical new possibilities for reading Joyce's fiction. It takes
readers through some of the canon's most well-read texts and
produces bold, fresh new readings. By placing these readings in
light of Jesuit religious practice - in particular, the Spiritual
Exercises all Jesuit priests and many students undergo - the book
shows how Joyce's deepest concerns about truth, literature, and
love were shaped by these religious practices and texts. Joyce
worked out his answers to these questions in his own texts, largely
by forcing his readers to encounter, and perhaps answer, those
questions themselves. Reading Joyce is a challenge not only in
terms of interpretation but of experience - the confusion, boredom,
and even paranoia readers feel when making their way through these
texts.
