A stunning copy.This is one of several fragments from Work in Progress published in 1939 as Finnegans Wake that Joyce issued to raise money while working on the mammoth project. One of the publishers Jack Kahane who idolized Joyce had originally asked Sylvia Beach to allow him to take over publication of Ulysses. Instead she introduced Kahane to Joyce who then agreed to let him publish Haveth Childers Everywhere. The effort nearly ruined Kahane and only by selling the American rights to the work were he and co-publisher Henry Babou able to save themselves from bankruptcy. When Faber and Faber was preparing the first London editions of Anna Livia Plurabelle and Haveth Childers Everywhere 1930 and 1931 respectively ""Joyce wrote rhymes for the 'blurb' on the dust jacket. The Haveth Childers verse is quoted in this description headlineÉ He was a little annoyed when the publicity departmentÉ used them only on a mimeographed publicity release to which they prefixed a note: 'The Sales department puzzled as such departments are wont to be have sought some light on the two James Joyce contributions to Criterion Miscellany. Below the explanations offered are passed on that you may be able to derive similar enlightenment"" Ellmann 617n. Slocum and Cahoon A41. A beautiful fine copy in a slightly worn slipcase. paperback books
