Beschreibungen/Notizen
In 1963, the legend goes, an ambitious young professor with a newly minted Ph.D. from Pitt came home to Tulsa with the aim of making what was then the oil capital of the world into an intellectual powerhouse. So he took to his garage and, with the help of a few students, began laying out a modestly sized magazine audaciously titled the James Joyce Quarterly (JJQ). Thirty-six cheaply set pages were stapled between Kelly green covers and accompanied by a deceptively reserved editorial statement. Those who knew Thomas F. Staley understood there was nothing modest about this venture at all. It entered into an already crowded field of competing Joyce journals and aimed to make Tulsa rhyme with Dublin, Paris, Zurich, and Trieste. Almost 63 years later, the JJQ has become not simply the international journal of record for one of the world's most influential novelists, but an intellectual touchstone for those interested in modern literature and culture more generally. During Tom's tenure at the helm, it drew widespread attention for its innovative articles and eager attempts to bring artists, scholars, novelists, and Joyce's fans into active dialogue.
