Also living in Zurich at this time was a British consula official called Henry Carr, a man acquainted with Joyce through the theater and later through a lawsuit concerning a pair of trousers. Taking Carr as his core, Stoppard spins this historical coincidence into a masterful and riotously funny play, a speculative portrait of what could have been the meeting of these profoundly influential men in a germinal Europe as seen through the lucid, lurid, faulty, and wholy riveting memory of an aging Henry Carr.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52164619010336,"sku":"NEW0802150896","price":11.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71umVeriyKL.jpg?v=1786225386","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/travesties-0802150896","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
