Synopsis
Giacomo Joyce is a posthumously-published work by Irish author James Joyce. It was published by Faber and Faber from sixteen handwritten pages by Joyce. In the free-form love poem, presented in the guise of a series of notes, Joyce attempts to penetrate the mind of a "dark lady", the object of an illicit love affair. Most profoundly, the Catholic Joyce makes no issue with the Judaism of his desired. "Giacomo" is the Italian form of the author's forename, James.
