The contributors, all writers who knew Joyce personally and followed the book's development, include Samuel Beckett ("Dante. Bruno. Vico. Joyce"), Frank Budgen ("James Joyce's Work in Progress and Old Norse Poetry"), Robert McAlmon ("Mr. Joyce Directs an Irish Word Ballet"), John Rodker ("Joyce and His Dynamic"), and William Carlos Williams ("A Point for American Criticism").Stuart Gilbert and Sylvia Beach speculated that one of the two protest letters was written by Joyce himself. The theory was debunked by an article published in the James Joyce Quarterly in 1979.
