Shem the Penman Sings Again deals creatively with the relationship between James Joyce and the renowned Irish tenor John McCormack. It examines Joyce's love of music and song through the Earwicker Twins in Finnegans Wake, Shem the Penman and Shaun the Post, thereby shedding light on Joyce's final difficult novel.
