N2  - This reader-friendly introduction makes Joyce asscessible by combining the excitement of reading his words with the excitement of interpreting them.
"Seidel has written an admirable brief introduction for the general reader. Obviously the product of many years of teaching Joyce, it's concise, fresh and very accessible." Ronald Bush, St John's College, University of Oxford
 "Entering the Joycean labyrinth - whether for the first time, or the twenty-first - one could not wish for a wiser, more gracious, better-humored guide than Michael Seidel. He ranges over the full spectrum of Joyce's writing with a lightness of touch and a sureness of direction that makes being his student an unmitigated delight." Kevin J. H. Dettmar, Southern Illinois University
 "In James Joyce: A Short Introduction, Michael Seidel has pulled off one of the most difficult feats in current publishing. Seidel manages to capture anew what it is that makes Joyce's writing unique, and to elucidate even his most abstrusities with a directness., clarity and infectious pleasure which reminds one all over again why one loves Joyce
