Joyce and the G-Men (häftad, eng)

Several years ago on a whim, Culleton requested James Joyce''s FBI file. Hoover had Joyce under surveillance as a suspected Communist, and the chain of cross-references that Culleton followed from Joyce''s file lead her to obscenity trials and, less obviously, to a plot to assassinate Irish labour leader James Larkin.

Hoover devoted a great deal of energy to keeping watch on intellectuals and considered literature to be dangerous on a number of levels. Joyce and the G-Men explores how these linkages are indicative of the culture of the FBI under Hoover, and the resurgence of American anti-intellectualism.
