Overview

This foundational volume presents the first comprehensive English-language excavation of Joyce's life and work. Beyond mere biography, it is a genealogical hermeneutics of the imaginary that maps the terrain of a poet whose writing became an ontological refusal. Joyce, André Breton's ""Tuberose Baby Girl"" , transfigured her Egyptian-Jewish lineage and subsequent political exile from Cairo into a radical poetic autonomy. Her language, forged in the crucible of loss and desire, is the grammar of dissent -a shattered syntax of erotic hysteria that violently unbinds sex, death, and humor from the Symbolic Order. Here, the body is not a muse but a battlefield, androgynous sovereignty. From her incandescent partnership with Breton to her transgressive collaborations with Matta, Alechinsky, and Hans Bellmer, Joyce forces poetry back into its carnal substratum. This book reveals her as a philosopher of modernity whose discourse is the wound, and whose final word, a glorious cry against boredom, illness, and the silence of the void, reconfigures the human condition itself. To enter her text is to affirm an irrecoverable truth: the modern soul is incurable, and that incurability is its deepest freedom.
