A passionate billet-doux
LONDON,
APRIL 23.
A steamy letter from James Joyce to his lover, Nora Barnacle, has been discovered tucked into a book among an almost painfully personal collection linked to the author.
The letter, believed to have been destroyed years ago, was written on December 1, 1909. It will become one of the most sensational Joyce manuscripts to reach the open market when it is auctioned at Sotheby's in July.
It was the first response from Joyce, then in Dublin, to a sexually explicit letter that Nora wrote from Trieste, saying she longed for him. The couple had quarrelled bitterly about his jealousy and failure to provide for her and their family. She had threatened to leave him. Her letter sparked a passionate exchange, and finally a reunion, which led to his writing the epic novel Ulysses. -- Guardian Newspapers Limited 2004
