The Mime of Mick, Nick and the Maggies a fragment from Work in Progress [Finnegans Wake]. The Hague: Servire Press, 1934. With cover design, opening initial, and tailpiece by Lucia Joyce. One of 29 copies on Simili Japon, signed by Joyce and his daughter. Lucia, whose signs of mental derangement were becoming more and more evident, suffered from schizophrenia. Her attachment to Samuel Beckett, which the young Irish writer could not reciprocate, was extremely painful for both of them. By the time this book appeared, she had already been hospitalized once. She was later institutionalized for the remainder of her life.
