JOYCE (LIFE AND TIMES) (HAUS) (PB)

James Joyce (1882- 1941) is hailed as one of the greatest writers of the twentieth century. This lucid and compelling biography vividly explores crucial events in Joyce’s life, from his self-imposed exile to his creative triumphs. Rejecting his homeland and its religion as a young man, Joyce went on to reinvent the Dublin of his youth in fiction. His masterpiece, Ulysses – once banned in Britain and the United States – redefined the modern novel and has become a canonical classic, while Finnegans Wake, written as his eyesight deteriorated, cemented Joyce’s legacy as one of the founding figures of modernist literature.
