Joyce is considered to be one of the most important literary figures of the 20th century, and of Ireland. Known for reworking myth into contemporary narratives, as well as incorporating the character of the city into his works, Joyce was one of the key players of modernism, whose works came to define the movement. His “Ulysses” is one of the most challenging and rewarding novels ever written.
