I published my first e-book the other day. So, if you have a kindle, iPhone or iPad, you can purchase it for $3:99 at any amazon store. The book is called
James Joyce and Zurich's Fair City - And other historical reflections on Switzerland..It collects a number of published and unpublished essays and, as the blurb says "
offers a series of anecdotal historical essays that will enhance your stay in Switzerland's beautiful city of Zurich. Stagger in the footsteps of James Joyce, drop in at the zany Cabaret Voltaire, get to grips with the philosophy behind Wagner's operas, discover Zurich's connections with Tom Waits, Thomas Mann, Will Self, Herman Hesse, Empress Sissi and many more.

I was very interested in James Joyce, not because I love his novels but because it is interesting to see an artist's house and city. And the mark he makes throughout his years there. Now I have examined Trieste, I must have a good look at Zurich :)
ReplyDeleteI hope your e-book does very well indeed!
Thanks for the link

ReplyDeleteHello Paul,
ReplyDeleteyour book sounds to be very interesting. Compliment for having it written in the first place. I have to admit that I've not dared to tackle James Joyce so far! Best regards. Martina
Thanks you Martina.
DeleteHis short stories, Dubliners, are a good place to start.
I just feel like telling you that I am enjoying your novel very much and I am touched to read that James Joyes and other important writers and politicians were regular customers at the Odeon and Kronenhalle. Thank you very much, Paul
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear that you are enjoying it Martina. Thanks for letting me know.
