Irish Thought for February 6...

Irish Writers

James Joyce

Born in Dublin, and widely considered to be one of the most influential writers of the 20th century, James Joyce is often credited for great leaps in the development of the modernist novel.  Joyce has been celebrated for his experimental use of language and stream-of-consciousness narrative, especially in the novels Ulysses and Finnegans Wake.  Although more traditionally written, his short-story collection Dubliners and a novel A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man are also considered masterworks of literature.
