Her Father and James Joyce

As a piece of literature, Dotter of Her Father’s Eyes may prove once and for all that graphic novels are actually a medium and not a genre.

Part biography, part memoir, this erudite story revolves around author Mary Talbot and her complicated relationship with her parents. The main focus of the book is the parallel that Ms. Talbot draws of the relationship between her and her father, world renowned James Joyce scholar James S. Atherton, and that of James Joyce and his daughter Lucia.
