"nora", as in nora barnacle, formerly employed at the
finn hotel?

i guess i'm just not interested in "narrative
decisions" that show or don't show a young jimmy joyce
out walking with a young nora barnacle (if indeed nora
is nora barnacle), and depicting how she made a man of
him.

and how they utilize those finally published steamy
joyce letters to nora. split screen? voice over? or?

hmmm, eye operations: may be leave those out? or just
show jim with another one of those patches? or better,
the two in bed the night before the operation, nora
teary....

but, moreover, i don't want figments of
actors/actresses dimming my mind's eye of any of the
joyces, including poor lucia and georgio.

i don't want 'these people's lives [turned] into a
movie'. their lives weren't a movie (and i might add,
they lives weren't literary biographies).

i want the movies to keep the hell away from the likes
of holden and kafka.
