Yeah I wasn't too suprised about this. I did a research project or Nora Joyce nee Barnacle's life and found some correspondence that was pretty raunchy. They had a pretty intense sometimes tumultuous relationship. Their personalities suited each other. Joyce fans and/or Ewan Macgregor fans alike might enjoy the film "Nora" which is about, of course, Nora and James Joyce's romance. It's very good and it delves into their sexual relationship which was pretty steamy!!
