Gorman was a good friend of Joyce's family, from what I gathered, and finished this book in 1939, two years before his death. It has the advantage of being written while he was alive, thus giving a good portrait of what he was like as a man; but it also has the disadvantage of being written while he was alive, preventing a more holistic and "definitive"—so far as that's possible—portrait of the man. I enjoyed the third chapter most, which focused on his Paris years and the formation of his intellectual attitudes.
