the McFarlin Fellows, an organization of library supporters. "Our holdings 
include a comprehensive collection of materials by and about James Joyce; 
Cyril Canaille's papers and library; Richard Ellmann's research on Wilde, 
Joyce, Yeats, Beckett, and other Irish writers," said Sid Huttner, special
