James Joyce's 1916 novella A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man
is about the early manhood of Stephen Dedalus, later one of the
leading characters in Ulysses. Stephen's growing self-awareness as
an artist forces him to reject the whole narrow world in which he
has been brought up, including family ties, nationalism, and the
Catholic religion.
Living overseas but writing, always, about his native city, Joyce
made Dublin unforgettable. The stories in Dubliners show us
truants, seducers, gossips, rally-drivers, generous hostesses,
corrupt politicians, failing priests, amateur theologians,
struggling musicians, moony adolescents, victims of domestic
brutishness, sentimental aunts and poets, patriots earnest or
cynical, and people striving to get by. In every sense an
international figure, Joyce was faithful to his own country by
seeing it unflinchingly and challenging every precedent and piety
in Irish literature.
Ulysses takes place in a single day, 16 June 1904, also known as
Bloomsday, it sets the characters and incidents of the Odyssey of
Homer in modern Dublin and represents Odysseus (Ulysses), Penelope
and Telemachus in the characters of Leopold Bloom, his wife Molly
Bloom and Stephen Dedalus, and contrasts them with their lofty
models. The book explores various areas of Dublin life, dwelling on
its squalor and monotony. Nevertheless, the book is also an
affectionately detailed study of the city. In Ulysses, Joyce
employs stream of consciousness, parody, jokes, and virtually every
other literary technique to present his characters. Many consider
it the best novel of the twentieth century. It is powerfully
written, a book for the ages.
This is the first critical edition of Exiles, Joyce's only extant
play and his least appreciated work. A. Nicholas Fargnoli and
Michael Patrick Gillespie contend that the play deserves the same
serious study as Joyce's fiction and stands on the cutting edge of
modern drama. Their introduction situates Exiles in the context of
Irish history and Joyce's other works, highlighting its
often-overlooked complexity. The text of the play is newly
annotated and unregularized, appearing as Joyce originallyintended.
Containing a variety of critical responses to the text, including
an interview with a recent director of the play, this edition
establishes Exiles as an important component of Joyce's canon.

Finnegans Wake is the book of Here Comes Everybody and Anna Livia
Plurabelle and their family - their book, but in a curious way the
book of us all as well as all our books. Joyce's last great work,
it is not comprised of many borrowed styles, like Ulysses, but,
rather, formulated as one dense, tongue-twisting soundscape. This
'language' is based on English vocabulary and syntax but, at the
same time, self-consciously designed to function as a pun machine
with an astonishing capacity for resisting singularity of meaning.
Announcing a 'revolution of the word', this astonishing book
amounts to a powerfully resonant cultural critique - a unique kind
of miscommunication which, far from stabilizing the world in
meaning, constructs a universe radically unfixed by a wild
diversity of possibilities and potentials. It also remains the most
hilarious, 'obscene', book of innuendos ever to be imagined.
