Thanks for this comment - and there are certainly photographs of Joyce taken during the composition of the Wake, although none of them, I think, show him in the actual process of writing, or dictating. Jesse - have tried to email you but it bounces back, so please DM me and I'll try again.

I like your examing the photograph of Beach and Joyce to uncover context and thereby arrive at a more phenonomenological map of circumstance that would give us a bit more than a mere annotation to a text. Would that we had a date and a photograph of the author in the midst of composition of a page or consecutive pages of--say Finnegans Wake-- and then to comb through those photographs for clues: dress, bills, key in the lock or not, view through the window, clock on the wall, position of the sun, look on the author's face and hints there as to stress, health. What insights these details might offer in they were woven into a laurel of discourse to be fitted around, or held near the narrative as we perform it, or even worn like the Urim and Thuminn!
