The Luenings had spent the first years of World War I in Bavaria, but now that Otto was of military age and had no passport, he had become subject to internment. Once in Zurich, he found himself in the cultural hub of Western Europe. Not only diplomats, war profiteers, spies, deserters, refugees, and political agitators had found a comparatively safe haven in neutral Switzerland: strolling down the Niederdorfstrasse after hearing C. G. Jung guest-lecture at the University, one could easily encounter Tristan Tzara in the Restaurant Tivoli, Igor Stravinsky at the Cafe Pfauen, and then Hermann Hesse at the Bar Odeon. Luening was enthralled by the city’s cosmopolitan atmosphere; he enrolled at the conservatory, where he became the student of another expatriate, Philip Jarnach. Jarnach, born in Nice of Spanish and German parentage, taught composition and counterpoint, and the two men quickly became friends. Luening, in his memoir The Odyssey of an American Composer, remembers how he first heard of another fellow exile: “Apropos of nothing in particular, Jarnach said in a music composition class, ‘And then, of course, there","PeriodicalId":330014,"journal":{"name":"Joyce Studies Annual","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131468796","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One or two specialists, of course, would choose Old and Middle English or Linguistics, but these were unloved by the bulk of us, who had resented being required to devote what felt like a disproportionate amount of time to them during our undergraduate years. The only other possibility was Anglo-Irish Literature, but this was almost automatically rejected. It consisted, as we perceived it, of uninspiring courses in such matters as Anglo-Irish speech patterns, the Abbey Theatre, short stories, and Nineteenth Century novelists, with even the risk of the dreaded Irish language, remembered with distaste from its compulsory imposition at school, making an appearance. Dullsville, in short. Anyway, Anglo-Irish Literature, as we saw it, was meant for Americans, and mainly Americans took it. No, Modern English and American Literature was where the action and the intellectual stars were. It promised access to the great world, to the world of contemporary and even avant-garde fiction and poetry, of the nascent but already inspiring literary theory—Writing Degree Zero had just appeared in translation in a cheap paperback: I read it with great excitement and without understanding a word— and of political consciousness—an important issue at the time; a world, in short, far removed from the provincialism, narrow perspectives and cultural isolation of our origins. And from these origins we could not get far enough away.","PeriodicalId":330014,"journal":{"name":"Joyce Studies Annual","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116925155","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

So in “The Dead” Joyce depicted a more complex and nuanced social world, one whose ambiguities derive in part from his treatment of “party pieces,” which become cultural, political, and moral barometers, especially for Gabriel Conroy, whose after dinner speech (a form of singing for one’s supper) engages the host /guest economy, while both praising and exposing the dying tradition that Joyce sought to recuperate. For all of his and its failings, Gabriel’s generous-spirited speech, and especially his praise of Aunt Julia’s singing as a “revelation,” underscores the privileged status of party pieces in this story and leads both to Gretta’s praising him for generosity and to his own potentially life-transforming revelation at the end. In A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, which as his brother Stanislaus says is “almost autobiographical, and naturally as it comes from Jim, satirical” (CDDSJ 12), Joyce further complicates the moral valance of performance that he depicts in Dubliners. He does so primarily by fictionalizing his relationship with John Joyce not as it was","PeriodicalId":330014,"journal":{"name":"Joyce Studies Annual","volume":"103 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121531517","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Reading over pages written thirty-five years ago, I sometimes feel that I recall the author less clearly than the events he describes. Who is this fellow who calls women “ladies” and “girls,” refers to my late friend Berni Benstock as “Bernard,” and—with a straight face—reports “gay parties” on Bloomsday? With horror, I find that he drinks too much and smokes cigarettes; with chagrin, I find his knowledge of Joyce generally shallow and sometimes in error, as you will discover if you read on. Well, the journal is his, not mine, so I pass on a text considerably reduced but otherwise essentially as written those many years ago.","PeriodicalId":330014,"journal":{"name":"Joyce Studies Annual","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131421860","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
