Summary:The first book-length treatment of Joyce and hospitalityAssesses Joyce’s employment of the Lukan Good Samaritan parable in relation to his short fiction and UlyssesArticulates how Joyce teaches us to be more charitable readersJames Joyce and Samaritan Hospitality reads Dubliners and Ulysses through studies of hospitality, particularly that articulated in the Lukan parable of the Good Samaritan. It traces the origins of the novel in part to the physical attacks on Joyce in 1904 Dublin and 1907 Rome, showing how these incidents and the parable were incorporated into his short story ‘Grace’ and throughout Ulysses, especially its last four episodes. Richard Rankin Russell discusses the rich theory of hospitality developed by Joyce and demonstrates that he sought to make us more charitable readers through his explorations and depictions of Samaritan hospitality.
