Dubliners?

Joyce, James: - James Joyce was an Irish author, poet, and literary critic who lived from 2 February 1882 to 13 January 1941. One of the most significant and influential writers of the 20th century, he made contributions to the modernist avant-garde movement. Homer's Odyssey stories are echoed in a number of literary genres, especially stream of consciousness, in the famous Joyce novel Ulysses (1922). Other well-known works include the novel Finnegans Wake (1916), the novel A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (1916), and the short story collection Dubliners (1914). (1939). His other works include three poetry collections, a play, letters, and sporadic pieces of journalism. Joyce was raised in a middle-class family in Dublin. In County Kildare, he attended the Jesuit Clongowes Wood College before temporarily attending the Christian Brothers' O'Connell School. He did exceptionally well at the Jesuit Belvedere College and graduated from University College Dublin in 1902 despite the unpredictability of his father's income forcing a tumultuous home life on the family. He married Nora Barnacle in 1904, and the two of them settled in continental Europe. After a brief stint working in Pula, he relocated to Trieste, Austria-Hungary, where was employed as an English teacher.
