A book I have very much enjoyed this week: "And So Do I" by Bradford writer Malachi Whitaker, a sort of chronicle of 2 years in the late 1930s, first published in 1939 & newly republished. Irreverent, humorous, often startlingly honest, with an undercurrent of existential bewilderment and searching.

Bluesky Joyceans! Flanneurs! Of 'At Swim-Two-Birds' Joyce reportedly remarked "That’s a real writer, with a true comic spirit. A really funny book." Can anyone source this comment? Was it in a letter, or something he said to (possibly) a French critic? Thanks for any help.
