From a young age, James Joyce showed a precocious, original
intellect and a confidence in his own artistic destiny. He would
indeed go on to transform the nature of modern literature,
employing a unique stream-of-consciousness technique rich in
symbolism and wordplay. Through his art, the Dublin native sought
to reveal the radiance and meaning that lurks in the everyday
world, "the soul of the commonest object," evoking a heightened
sense of consciousness within the grit of common life. James Joyce
in 90 Minutes offers a concise, expert account of Joyce's life and
ideas, and explains their influence on literature and on man's
struggle to understand his place in the world. The book also
includes a list of Joyce's chief works, a chronology of his life
and times, and recommended reading for those who wish to delve
deeper.
