# James Joyce

> He wrote a novel that follows one man through a single day in Dublin, told in styles that shift from newspaper headlines to hallucination, and it changed what fiction could do. Ulysses made Joyce the modernist who cracked language open.

## Bio

Born in Dublin in 1882 into a middle-class family undone by his father's chaotic finances, Joyce excelled at Jesuit schools and graduated from University College Dublin in 1902. In 1904 he met Nora Barnacle and left Ireland for good, teaching English in Trieste and publishing the story collection Dubliners in 1914 and A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man in 1916. He spent World War I in Zurich working on Ulysses, which appeared in Paris in 1922 and was banned in the UK and US for obscenity until the mid-1930s. He moved to Paris in 1920 and spent sixteen years on Finnegans Wake, published in 1939. Though he lived abroad, his fiction stayed rooted in Dublin — its streets, his family, his enemies. When Germany occupied France in 1940 he returned to Zurich, where he died in January 1941 after surgery for a perforated ulcer.
