166 JAMES JOYCE (1882-1941)
Ulysses
1928 printing by Shakespeare & Co., Paris. Signed by the author and inscribed to the writer, John Pollock, and dated “Paris, Christmas,
1929”. Presented in a presentation box; together with “Anatole France and Mrs. Grundy” by John Pollock, printed by the Cayme Press (1926).
Limited to 750 copies where the writer refers to “Ulysses” on page 12. He writes, “one author indeed has attempted to set down everything
that a man might think, and a most disgusting job he made of it. I refer to Mr. James Joyce and to “Ulysses”, the greater part of which should
never have been written, not only because it is portentously dull, but also because it is flatly indecent.”
