Reviews

"...Conley’s insatiable appetite to read Joyce for his usefulness enriches our understanding of his texts and will provoke further research and inquiry." - Eleni Loukopoulou, Independent Scholar (James Joyce Quarterly, vol 55 no 1-3, Spring/Summer '18) "Useless Joyce provides an implicit defense of literary pleasure, with the teacher-critic serving as mediator of that pleasure." - Mark Wollaeger (James Joyce Literary Supplement, Fall 2018) ‘Highly recommended.’ - R.D. Newman (Choice Magazine vol 55:10:2018)
