Biography: literary

""Joyce fans should thank their lucky stars."" -The New York

Times Arguably the most influential writer of the twentieth century,

James Joyce continues to inspire writers, readers, and thinkers today.

Now Edna O'Brien, herself one of Ireland's great writers, approaches

the master as only a fellow countryman can. From Joyce's adolescence

through his travels abroad to the publication of Ulysses-the

scandalous masterpiece that was initially banned in the U nited States

but later hailed as one of the most brilliant novels of the twentieth

century-O'Brien traces the arc of Joyce's remarkable life. Her

biography is a tribute, at once affectionate and stern, from a

contemporary writer to one of our most significant literary ancestors.
