1930ref. 190805Paris: 1930. Lady Cunard. is sending over a person to hear Sullivan An unpublished letter sent to the future proprietor of the Ulysses Bookshop enlisting him in the promotion of the Irish tenor John O'Sullivan. Joyce first heard the singer perform in October 1929 and was immediately enthralled by his powerful voice. Upon meeting Joyce and O'Sullivan became friends and drinking companions and Joyce worked tirelessly to help O'Sullivan achieve success. In early 1930 Joyce was struggling against a creative slump in his work on Finnegans Wake. Furthering O'Sullivan's career became an alternative pursuit; Joyce was himself an amateur tenor and regarded the singer as "a kind of alter ego" Ellman p. xlv. He attended as many performances as possible always sitting in the front row and responding enthusiastically and encouraged his friends and admirers to do the same. He also attempted to get the tenor noticed by music critics and potential patrons such as Nancy Cunard's mother who he mentions in the present letter: "I have written to Lady Cunard and she is sending over a person to hear Sullivan". Ultimately few others were found who shared Joyce's enthusiasm for the singer but he was immortalized as the character "Jean Souslevin" i.e. "under the wine" in Finnegans Wake. Jacob Schwartz was "one of the first to recognize the market potential for letters and manuscripts of Joyce" Brockman p. 174. He met the writer in London in 1929 and shortly afterwards embarked on a journey to Dublin to purchase Joyce-related documents and memorabilia. The Ulysses Bookshop opened later in 1930. Single sheet of Joyce's printed letterhead 232 x 158 mm typed on one side. Housed in custom orange cloth chemise with acetate internal pocket. Short splits at ends of former folds two with small tape repairs to verso holding fast edges a little chipped and creased lightly toned. In very good condition. Richard Ellman ed.

1969ref. 14139520 November 1969. Typed letter signed from the American novelist Joyce Carol Oates b. 1938 on her projections for literature in the 1970s. Oates writes in response to the Toronto Star journalist Ray Gardner 1919-1997 who requested her opinion on literary developments as part of a series of letters to prominent individuals requesting their outlook on the coming decade. Oates responds "I think the Seventies will be as exciting as the Sixties have been. I envision an increase in the number and quality of small presses and small magazines and an increasing willingness on the part of more established publishers to bring out experimental work. The breakdown between 'conventional' and 'experimental' should about complete itself in the Seventies. I would like to see less reliance upon single-effect works: not so much of the by-now conventional 'black comedy' not so much social protest or intense psychological introspection but rather a generous combining of these various sub-genres. The novel is very much alive and more than ever informed by a multitude of disciplines - I would like to see a distinctly contemporary sophistication combined with the kind of leisurely and graceful storytelling we associate with the nineteenth century. Sincerely Joyce Carol Oates". Typed letter 279 x 215 mm. Creases as originally folded a couple of spots of very faint soiling. In very good condition. unknown
