More about the book
The book explores James Joyce's complex relationship with his Irish Catholic roots, revealing that despite his rebellious nature and radical literary techniques, he maintained a connection to his heritage. Through an analysis of his works, including early poems and major novels like Ulysses and Finnegans Wake, the author argues that Joyce ultimately developed a comic perspective on human folly. This study challenges the notion of Joyce as a purely revolutionary figure, presenting him instead as a nuanced artist grappling with the human condition.
