A stunning visual meditation upon the texts of Joyce's epiphanies, executed in original etchings, watercolors, collages, and hand-cut creations, printed on various Japanese papers and on Moulin du Gue paper. The collages were executed by Vincent Fitzgerald and Zahra Partovi; the etchings were printed by Van Dyke and Maria Luisa Rojo at the Printmaking Workshop, and the lithographs were printed by Van Dyke and Rhae Burden. The calligraphy was executed by Jerry Kelly, and the letterpress printed by Dan Keleher and Bruce Chandler at Wild Carrot Letterpress. The texts of the forty epiphanies are printed in full, and those selected for interpretation are assigned thematic divisions: "Planes," "Death," "Dreams," and "Games," with Weil undertaking the first two sections, and Van Dyke the latter two. The thematic sectional titles to the divisions of the illustrative matter are keyed numerically to the relevant epiphanies in the text.
A notable production, singled out for notice in several key exhibitions, including selective shows by Franklin Furnace and the Boston Athenaeum.
