«Nora. Das Leben der Nora Joyce.» is the biography of Nora Barnacle written by Brenda Maddox, published by Btb Bei Goldmann in paperback (in German).
Biographer Brenda Maddox rescues Nora Barnacle from the secondary place to which history had relegated her and shows her importance in the life of James Joyce. Born in Galway in 1884 and died in Zurich in 1951, Nora was the writer's companion and, according to this work, the inspiration for Molly Bloom in Ulysses and Anna Livia Plurabelle in Finnegans Wake.
Originally published in 1988 as Nora: The Real Life of Molly Bloom, it won the Los Angeles Times Book Prize for biography and was a finalist for the National Book Award. This German edition, published in 2000, is translated by Karin Kersten.
For those seeking a documented biography about James Joyce and the role of women in modern literature.
