The Complete James Joyce

James Joyce reinvented what a novel could do, and this collection gathers his complete fiction in one volume - from the sharp, quietly devastating short stories of Dubliners to the coming-of-age portrait of Stephen Dedalus in A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, and on to the single most influential novel of the twentieth century, Ulysses. Follow Leopold Bloom through one extraordinary day in Dublin, rendered in prose that shattered the conventions of narrative and rewired what English fiction was capable of.
Dense, funny, formally daring, and endlessly rewarding, Joyce's work rewards patient readers with some of the richest writing in the English language. This is the complete Joyce, essential for anyone serious about modern literature.
