Story from BBC NEWS on an erotic letter sent by author James Joyce to his wife has fetched a record £240,800 at auction in London.
The correspondence to Nora Barnacle made the highest price ever reached for a 20th Century autographed letter, Sotheby’s said.
Smashing its £60,000 estimate, the letter in which Joyce describes Nora as a “wild-eyed whore” was bought by an anonymous bidder.
