Short Bio
James Joyce, born February 2, 1882, in Dublin, Ireland, and passing on January 13, 1941, in Zurich, Switzerland, was an Irish novelist, short story writer, and poet, widely considered one of the most influential and innovative authors of the 20th century.
Joyce's groundbreaking use of stream of consciousness, complex characterizations, and deep exploration of the human psyche mark his work as a central part of the modernist movement.
His major works include "Dubliners," a collection of short stories; "A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man," an autobiographical novel; "Ulysses," his epic reimagining of Homer's Odyssey set in Dublin; and "Finnegans Wake," known for its experimental style and dense language.
Joyce's writings offer intricate reflections on the human condition, memory, and identity, profoundly impacting literature and narrative technique.
