James Joyce
James Joyce was an influential Irish writer, renowned for his innovative narrative techniques and use of stream of consciousness. His most famous works include "Ulysses," a modernist masterpiece that parallels Homer's "Odyssey" and explores the inner thoughts of its characters over the course of a single day in Dublin. Joyce's other significant works include "A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man" and "Finnegans Wake," both of which further showcase his experimental literary style. His writing has had a profound impact on 20th-century literature, pushing the boundaries of language and narrative structure.
