In reply to:

Stephens enjoyed some small notarity in US in the 1950's and toured as a visiting professer. His popularity in ireland lasted well into the 1990's (and might still linger) Stephen's was a friend of James Joyce, and Joyce often said, "If i die before i finish Finigan's Wake, James (Stephens) is the man to finish it."

though his lecture tours were before my time, the popularity of his books and works lingered on in irish neighborhood near the universities he lectured at--and i grew up next to one..

But what was he notorious for?
