Hello , everyone here
We are sometimes surprised at the fact the unexpected private life of celebrity ,especially , when the image we have ever had is greatly different from the new discovered one .
Here is a good exaple .
In case of "James Joyce ", his suffering , troubled daughter called Lucia was greatly influencial on his work .
Whatever ailed Lucia from unhappy unusual life , it made her both impossible to live with and unable to take care of herself . She spent the last 45 years of her life in institultions , incarcerated and medicated , until she died in 1982.
Despite Joyce's agony ,self-absorption, Lucia's suffering found its way into the masterwork of her worried father ,"Finnegans Wake ".
For him , she seemed to be a centrally important muse to Joyce who inspired him and whom he depended on .
So it is very interesting to understand unkown life of celebrity is a surprise .
If my comment stimulates your interest in it , I recommend you to read the book ; "Lucia Joyce " .
