"As promised I send you the notices [not present] but may I ask you to return them when read as I have no others. If you will drop a line to: Mr. Fritz Vanderplyl…saying that you are writing the article on me I am sure he will let you have the copy of Egoist (15 January 1913) which I lent him some time ago. It contains the whole story of Dubliners. Sincerely yours / James Joyce.
Dubliners was Joyce's first published work of fiction; it is a series of twelve stories, set in Dublin and thematically connected. Its traditionally structured style makes it more accessible than his other works. Although he wrote the stories in 1904-05, it took him until 1914 to get them published. Egoist was published in London from 1914-19 by Dora Marsden (1914) and Harriet Shaw Weaver (1914-19).
Estimated Value $2,000 - 3,000.
