 The New York Review of Books: Out of Exile
Cary was born in Londonderry, Ireland, in 1888, the eldest child of a branch of an Anglo-Irish family which took great pride in its Irish ties and holdings.
Cary himself tacitly acknowledged this in his introduction, where he spoke of "the eternal [problem] of limits, what to bring in, to give a fair picture, what must be left out, to avoid muddle and incoherence." The novel is too long for what it tells and too short for what it would tell.
Cary, too, was a man of lyrical temperament, and his novels are remarkable for the pervasiveness of poetry in their prose.

Drawn there in search of literary ghosts, of the poet Umberto Saba and the novelists Italo Svevo and James Joyce, Joseph Cary found instead a city with an imaginative life of its own, the one that rises, tantalizing from the pages of this book.
The story of Cary's travels, A Ghost in Trieste, is also a tale of discovery and transformation, as the bustling world of port and airplane, baggage and trams and trains becomes the landscape of history and literature, language and art, psychoanalysis and the self.
Trieste's cultural and historical riches, its geographical splendor of hills and sea and mysterious presence unfold in a series of stories, monologues and literary juxtapositions that reveal the city's charms as well as its seductive hold on the writer's imagination.
