James Joyce was born in Dublin in 1882 and died in Zurich in 1941 after one of the most controversial and luminous literary careers of the twentieth century. From his early work, the semi-autobiographical novel A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man and the short stories collected in Dubliners, to his later masterpieces Ulysses and Finnegans Wake, Joyce forged a brilliant, adaptable prose that could be by turns graceful, shocking, intimate, and difficult. He pioneered a type of writing known as "stream-of-consciousness," whereby the words on the page attempt to mirror the thoughts of characters and to capture their mental states stylistically, and he remains its most famous and successful practitioner (Rebecca West wrote that, with Ulysses, Joyce became "the one genius who invented a form and exhausted its possibilities at the same time").
