Abstract
In appearance Jim has not changed much from what he was when he arrived in Trieste. He is over forty. Lean, lithe, tall, he might almost seem a sportsman if he had not the negligent gait of a person who does not care what he does with his limbs.
Extracted from James Joyce: A Lecture Delivered in Milan in 1927, trans. Stanislaus Joyce (Norfolk, Conn.: New Directions, 1950). Editor’s title.

Italo Svevo [pseudonym of Ettore Schmitz] (1861–1928), Italian novelist who became a friend of young Joyce when the latter set up as a private tutor at Trieste and had him for a pupil for English lessons. It was Joyce who introduced him to French critics and in this way his much-neglected work came to the light. On the relationship between the two writers see P. N. Furbank, ‘Svevo and James Joyce’, in Italo Svevo: The Man and the Writer (Berkeley and Los Angeles: University of California Press, 1966) pp. 78–91.
