Dubliners/A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Dubliners / A Portrait of the Artist As a Young Man (Hardcover)
Dubliners, a short story collection, is the first major work that James Joyce published after years of impediments. A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man followed as the first of three novels. The works are challenging but among the best written in the history of literature. A survey of people involved in literature done in the Nineties, I believe, listed Portrait as the third best novel of the twentieth century written in English, outranked only by Ulysses, also by Joyce, and The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald. I bought this hardbound edition because I teach both needed a durable copy as my paperback copies were woefully tattered after years of use. As I was reannotating Portrait, I was moved to read it again, despite having taught it twice this past year. I am enjoying it immensely once again. Both concern the struggles of growing up and, despite their being decidedly Irish, Joyce has touched many universal chords as well. I would recommend both very highly, no matter a person's literary tastes.
