Anotace knihy

In his Trieste Diary, or Book of Days, Stanislaus Joyce mentions that one night in April 1907, as he and his brother were strolling through the Cittavecchia in Trieste, they met two of their students who were 'evidently on their way to the kips', and that this prompted a series of reflections by Joyce on prostitution in Rome. This easy pairing of a Dublin reality with a Triestine one (the 'kips' referred specifically to the notorious Monto district in Dublin), What role did prostitution, and its necessary corollary, syphilis, play in Joyce's life and works? What did the term 'whore', in all its many connotations and declinations, signify for the Irish writer? Did Joyce, whose early initiation into Dublin's Nighttown is well known, also frequent the bordellos, or casini in Trieste? Is the 'Circe' episode of Ulysses based only on the Monto district in Dublin, or does it also owe something to the extensive reality of prostitution as it existed in Trieste? Was Joyce syphilitic? Based on extensive research in local medical, police and Austrian government archives, together with a close rereading of many of the Irish writer's key texts, Zois in Nighttown offers a uniquely Triestine perspective and approach to understanding the importance and function of these and related issues in James Joyce's life and works.
