Summary:
At Fault: James Joyce and the Modern University argues that American universities have lost their way, and that the works of James Joyce will put them back on the scent. There are chapters on centrifugal motion, gramophones, elephants, fox-hunting, philately, brain mapping, and baseball: a compendium of approaches befitting the ever-expanding world of James Joyce.
