In a 1936 letter to his grandson Stephen, Joyce included this fable “about the overnight construction of a bridge that the Devil builds in exchange for the soul of its first traveler” (Fargnoli & Gillespie, 30). Although the text was first published in Joyce’s collected letters (1957), it did not appear as a separate book until 1964, when Dodd, Mead and Company in New York released it with illustrations by Richard Erdoes.
