" Non piu andrai farfallone rumoroso " -- "You Will Go No More, Noisy Butterfly": Joyce and Antheil

Abstract

Thus, the twenty-five-year-old American composer George Antheil—born in Trenton, New Jersey—wrote to Sylvia Beach (the publisher of Ulysses) in Paris from the Hotel Continentale in Trieste, Italy. The hotel is located in Via San Nicolò, in front of the Joyce family's apartments in the building formerly belonging to the Berlitz School, where in fact Stanislaus Joyce lived. What did he exactly mean by "they find it necessary to find me in Trieste" and "I can't afford to wait in jammed cities"? Or that the same day, an article appeared in the Paris edition of the New York Herald?
