Wow! It sure sucks to be an artist daughter. Lucia really had a difficult childhood: Intermittent education, no permanent home or language, strabismus, an uncaring mother, and an semi-absent father. Just enough to make anyone go mad. But she got more than that. [Via Arts & Letters Daily]
  • That second link wants to go here. (You have to leave the "http://" in the address or the computie goes stupid.) Incidentally, is getting dumped by Sam Beckett bad luck or good luck?
  • Thanks for the correction Wolof. And, about being dumped by Beckett. Who knows, maybe they were made for each other. I would consider good luck being dumped by Lucia Joyce and I somewhat understand those who dumped her. Athough I now it wasn't her fault entirely being the way she was. And I'm not considering her strabism, which was the least of her problems.
  • Is getting dumped by Sam Beckett bad luck or good luck? Maybe if it was this Sam Beckett... See, Zemat, I'm commenting in your thread!
  • That Sam Beckett didn't needed to dump any girl. They would never notice he was gone in the first place. Thanks wendell. I paid you with another visit to the game. Anyway, I should strive to make my posts a little more interesting or debatable.
  • But does she understand his books? Can she explain them? That would be, like, a whole career. Full disclosure: Once participated in a marathon reading of Ulysses.
