James Joyce was one of the most influential writers of the 20th century. He's considered an important member of the modernist avant-garde, an artistic movement which revolutionized art and literature around the world. He was born in Dublin, Ireland on February 2, 1882 and died in Zurich in 1941, where he's buried. He came from a big family with several problems. His father was a singer although he also was a heavy drinker, who spent all the family income on alcohol. That meant that the family never had enough money. From an early age, Joyce demonstrated a great intelligence and a gift for writing. His family sent him to Jesuit schools so he could get an education. He graduated from University College Dublin where he got a Bachelors of Arts related to modern languages.
A short time after he moved to Italy with his wife Nora and began writing and publishing his novels and short stories.
Joyce is best known for Ulysses (1922). Other well-known works are the short-story collection Dubliners (1914), and the novels A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (1916) and Finnegans Wake (1939). His other writings include three books of poetry, a play, occasional journalism, and his published letters.

His exploration of language and new literary forms showed not only his genius as a writer but spawned a fresh approach for novelists, one that drew heavily on Joyce's love of the stream-of-consciousness technique and the examination of big events through small happenings in everyday lives.
I think he's one of the most exciting writers of his time and someone who still has a huge influence on writers and artists today. I really like his style. It's more difficult to read perhaps, but it goes much deeper into reality than many novels written today.
