| Summary |
"Along with such figures as Picasso, Schoenberg and Stravinsky, James Joyce is one of the key innovators of modernism. But a myth has taken hold that Joyce's work is difficult. This discourages some otherwise curious readers from approaching the writings. This is a great pity because Joyce's works are deeply human, enormously comic, and compelling reading." "Although Joyce spent much of his life in self-imposed exile, all of his writings are obsessively and microscopically focussed on Ireland's fair city - Dublin." "David Norris, an Irish Senator, writer and Trinity College Don provides an 'Introductory' map to the labyrinth of Joyce's visionary Dublin. He takes the reader step-by-step from the early stories, Dubliners, and his immensely readable novel A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, into the sprawling comic universe of Ulysses and finally to the mythic dream world of Finnegan's Wake."--BOOK JACKET |
