Some readers are turned off by Joyce's "erotic" letters to Nora - and
in parallel by Bloom's musings; and this response is probably evidence
of careful, empathic reading. The apparently "intimate" letters are
surprisingly distancing, concerned with Nora's physiological functions
and Jim's infantile needs. Apparently, only the genius was to have
feelings of interest. Great book; difficult author.
