About the author

James Joyce

Joyce is the most technically ambitious novelist in the English language, whose Ulysses remade the possibilities of prose fiction and whose Finnegans Wake has never been surpassed in linguistic experimentation. Dubliners established him as a master of the short story before his longer experiments.
