One task remained. I was eager to make a film to preserve the drama of the Dork project experiment, but wanted to avoid excessive braggadocio. I recalled James Joyce s advice in his 1916 novel. Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, that a creator should remain within or behind or above his handiwork, invisible, refined out of existence, indifferent, paring his fingernails.

I returned to talk with him the next two days while preparations were made for our trip downriver. I was impressed by Brown s sincerity, by the depth of his understanding of me, by the way that Roger Casement and a world nearly forgotten—a world known to me only from its brief mention in the pages of James Joyce s Ulysses—lived and moved before me in those long, rambling conversations on his veranda.

James Joyce later commented on Nora s eccentricity, Whatever spark or gift I possess has been transmitted to Lucia and it has kindled a fire in her brain. She was hospitalized in the 1930s for her mental illness. Her horrifying treatments included injections with seawater and animal serum, as well as solitary confinement. 

Many eminent persons have had children with serious mental problems and have had at least one child take his or her life. Robert Frost s daughter was committed to the state mental hospital and another daughter had a nervous breakdown. One of Albert Einstein s children was diagnosed as schizophrenic. Ambrose Bierce s oldest son committed suicide, and his other died of alcoholism at age 27. Thomas Edison had two children who became alcoholics, one of whom committed suicide. Alfred Stieglitz s daughter was psychotic and committed to a mental institution. James Joyce had two children. His son became an alcoholic his daughter went mad and, as discussed, was admitted to an asylum for schizophrenia. Numerous other examples demonstrate the frequent problems of geniuses children. Many of these children tried unsuccessfully to pursue careers similar to their eminent parents, but it is not clear if this played any role in their mental problems.
