Summary

Summary

In short stories, poems, and monumental novels, James Joyce set out to discover the meaning of his nationality, simultaneously celebrating and ridiculing the history of Ireland in the brilliant style that has made him the most towering figure in the literary landscape of the early twentieth century. Dublin-born, Gabriel Byrne—who has starred in many films, including Little Women and The Usual Suspects—clearly brings to life Joyce’s short stories from Dubliners and selections from A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man and Chamber Music.
