About this title

About the Author:

James Joyce [1882-1941] is best known for his experimental use of language and his exploration of new literary methods. His subtle yet frank portrayal of human nature, coupled with his mastery of language, made him one of the most influential novelists of the 20th century.Joyce s use of stream-of-consciousness reveals the flow of impressions, half thoughts, associations, hesitations, impulses, as well as the rational thoughts of his characters. The main strength of his masterpiece novel, Ulysses" (1922) lies in the depth of character portrayed using this technique. Joyce s other major works include Dubliners", a collection of short stories that portray his native city, a semi-autobiographical novel called A Portrait of the Artist As a Young Man" (1916), and Finnegan s Wake" (1939).

Review:

"The collection endures for so many reasons, beginning with the exquisite language, the universality of its Dublin specificity -- and the sense granted to the reader that each story somehow continues beyond its final word." - Dan Barry, The New York Times

"Dubliners is one of those books that tracks you through life, that you return to again and again, finding something new every time." - Paul Murray , The Paris Review
