Dotter of Her Fathers Eyes

This is a dual biography that follows two young women's lives: one is the daughter of Irish writer James Joyce, the other is the daughter of a scholar who spends all his time and energy on studying Joyce's work. The artwork here is interesting, the storytelling cinematic. The story is interesting, whether or not you care for James Joyce. I enjoyed it!

This is a combination of a memoir and a biography. Mary Talbot writes about growing up the daughter of an eminent Joycean scholar, and about Joyce's daughter, Lucia. Though a generation apart, they were both bound by the the restrictions on women. Mary transcended them, helped by coming of age at a time of women's liberation. It's beautifully imagined by the wonderful Bryan Talbot. He vividly summons up '50s England and '20s and '30s Paris.

Mary has had a successful career as an academic. She turned to a graphic memoir after retiring from academia.
