One Long Blue Streak traces the unstoppable flow of indecent, profane, and off-colour language coursing through James Joyce's work, inviting readers to decode and delight in the bawdry and blasphemy that established Joyce as one of the notoriously obscene writers in the canon. From the elided vulgarity of Dubliners to the anarchic wordplay of Finnegans Wake, Joyce seized upon the power of swearing, cursing, and so-called foul language - sacred, sexual, and scatological alike - to create a playful space in which speech is still free.
