First published in 1947, this is explicitly based upon Joyce's Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, tracing the young life of a sensitive, intelligent Glaswegian, David Macrae, from the formative images of his infancy to his solipsistic attack on the intellectual life of the university. David's youth encompasses his private debate not only about his relationship with his community, but also about the restrictive nature of Scottish politics, religion and philosophy.
