Published in 1916, James Joyce's semiautobiographical tale of his alter ego, Stephen Dedalus, is a coming-of-age story like no other. A bold, innovative experiment with both language and structure, the work has exerted a lasting influence on the contemporary novel.
'Joyce dissolved mechanism in literature as effectively as Einstein destroyed it in physics,' wrote Alfred Kazin. 'He showed that the material of fiction could rest upon as tense a distribution and as delicate a balance of its parts as any poem. Joyce's passion for form, in fact, is the secret of his progress as a novelist. He sought to bring the largest possible quantity of human life under the discipline of the observing mind, and the mark of his success is that he gave an epic form to what remains invisible to most novelists.... Joyce means many things to different people; for me his importance has always been primarily a moral one. He was, perhaps, the last man in Europe who wrote as if art were worth a human life.... By living for his art he may yet have given others a belief in art worth living for.'
James Joyce, the twentieth century’s most influential novelist, was born in Dublin on February 2, 1882. The oldest of ten children, he grew up in a family that went from prosperity to penury because of his father’s wastrel behavior. After receiving a rigorous Jesuit education, twenty-year-old Joyce renounced his Catholicism and left Dublin in 1902 to spend most of his life as a writer in exile in Paris, Trieste, Rome, and Zurich. On one trip back to Ireland, he fell in love with the now famous Nora Barnacle on June 16, the day he later chose as “Bloomsday” in his novel Ulysses. Nara was an uneducated Galway girl who became his lifelong companion an the mother of his two children. In debt and drinking heavily, Joyce lived for thirty-six years on the Continent, supporting himself first by teaching jobs, then trough the patronage of Mrs. Harold McCormick (Edith Rockerfeller) and the English feminist and editor Harriet Shaw Weaver. His writings include Chamber music (1907), Dubliners (1914), A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (1916), Exiles (1918), Ulysses (1922), Poems Penyeach (1927), Finnegans Wake (1939), and an early draft of A Portrait of a Young Man, Stephan Hero (1944). Ulysses required seven years to complete, and his masterpiece, Finnegans Wake, took seventeen. Both works revolutionized the form, structure, and content of the novel. Joyce died in Zurich in 1941.
To talk too much aesthetics into beauty may lead one astray from the original marvel of the magnificent myths. The discussions are quite interesting to read though, and the constant inner struggles, the debates between selves.
评分how touchingly he rejects the country and the race and the religion that produced him and chooses to arrest the minds of humanity; "to live, to err, to fall, to triumph, to create life out of life"! as if hearing a much shrewder mind reliving my own childhood, youth, and hopefully life.

评分I keep telling myself that it’s okay to be not into the great James Joyce... =P
曾经在学校图书馆的一角看到过乔伊斯的名作《尤利西斯》,翻看了几页就放弃了。那个时候总觉得这种晦涩难懂的意识流书籍还是远离为妙,太伤脑细胞。很久过后的现在,空闲迷茫状态的我,决定静下心来细细品读那几部一直想看的大作。《青年艺术家画像》被誉为《尤利西斯》前...
评分一个月左右读完,当然不是一直读,偶尔读,最涩记录是一个多小时只盯着一页的一段话的几个词汇看,总之非常伤神经了,乔伊斯说过,他就想伤人。不能说是纯文本阅读,这目前被归为文学流派中意识流的代表作品所产生的艺术感觉远超于所定义的。可以说,我们先不急着对号入座,这...
