 The New Yorker : fact : content   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
Stephen’s parents, Giorgio Joyce and Helen Kastor Joyce, had lived in the New York City area during part of the nineteen-thirties, and Stephen’s English was infused with the slang of that era.
Joyce commemorated these events in the poem “Ecce Puer,” which begins, “Of the dark past / A boy is born; / With joy and grief / My heart is torn.” Stephen—German Jewish on his mother’s side, Irish on his father’s—was a beautiful baby.
James Joyce might well have supported this notion, for he had never accepted that his daughter was mentally ill. “Whatever spark or gift I possess has been transmitted to Lucia, and has kindled a fire in her brain,” he said in 1935.

 Joyce - Works: Why read James Joyce?
James Joyce was not exactly what one would call a prolific writer, having produced only a handful of poems, two plays, a single book of short stories, and just three complete "novels." If you piled all these works on top of each other, it still wouldn't be the size of Dostoevsky's shopping list.
Joyce's works are compact, each book a small universe of riches and complexities, with meaning folded upon meaning until the words themselves seem to vibrate.
To read Joyce is, as he himself put it, to read "as human a little story as paper could well carry." And, to return a last time to Shakespeare, like the Bard, Joyce's works are truly meant for everyone – not just professors; but plumbers, printers, and pubcrawlers, too.
