About this title

About the Author:

James Joyce was one of innovators of postmodernism. He is widely considered one of the most important writers of the 20th century. Born in Dublin, James Joyce (1882 1941) was a modernist and proponent of the stream-of-consciousness writing style and is widely considered one of the most important writers of the twentieth century. His works feature primarily Dublin figures such as in the short story collectionDubliners(1914), and the novelsA Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man(1916), Ulysses(1922) andFinnegan's Wake(1939).

From the Back Cover:

The surviving authors of Our Examination have very kindly asked its former publisher to contribute to the re-issue of their work a few words about its origin. Many of the essays include were first published by Eugene Jolas in his review, transition: what, therefore, could be more fitting than an introduction by Mrs. Eugene Jolas? But she has declined the honour, Mr. Stuart Gilbert has too, so it is left to me to tell how this little volume came about.
