Stephen Joyce, 87, grandson and last descendant of James Joyce.

A stroppy character by all accounts, and a DDP miss.

 

He kept strict control of his grandfather’s legacy, in 2004 threatening the Irish government with a lawsuit to prevent public readings on Bloomsday, the annual celebration of Ulysses, launching innumerable tussles with scholars over books on Joyce, and refusing permission to quote from Joyce’s writings. Academics, he told the New Yorker in 2006, were like “rats and lice – they should be exterminated!”

I wonder why the social media intern felt the need to put the disclaimer SAD NEWS. Feels like you could gather that info from just reading the headline.
