Dotter of Her Father's Eyes

I have somehow found myself in the sub-sub-sub-genre of intellectual/philosophical biographical comix. And I am fine with that!

This is an interesting, meditative, and infuriating part-memoir about the author, whose father was a big Joycean scholar, and Lucia Joyce, the ill-fated daughter of James. There are many parallels between these two womens' lives: namely, their dads... how can I put this kindly... okay, I can't, I'm just so angry... Okay, the main parallel is the FRICKIN PATRIARCHY crushing them oppressively all the damn time.

I had no idea about Lucia Joyce, and I find James Joyce (and Joycean studies?) kind of insufferable. So this just made me even more annoyed with that whole lot.
