«Nora» is Brenda Maddox's biography of James Joyce and Nora Barnacle, published by Debolsillo in paperback (777 pages, in Spanish).
The book tells the story of Nora Barnacle, the young woman who in 1904 left Dublin with James Joyce, then a twenty-two-year-old writer, to live a relationship that defied the conventions of her time. The strength of her character and her experiences marked Joyce's writing, and the biography argues that without her Ulysses would not have existed.
This Spanish edition was published in 2001, translated by Roser Berdagué and part of the Ave Fénix collection. The original work dates from 1988 and won the Los Angeles Times Book Prize.
Recommended for readers interested in James Joyce, Irish literature, and biographies that portray the women behind great writers.
