    A masterpiece of subjectivity, a fictionalized memoir, a coming-of-age prose-poem, this brilliant novella introduces Joyce's alter ego, Stephen Daedelus, the hero of Ulysses, and begins the narrative experimentation that would help change the concept of literary narrative forever. It describes Stephen's formative years in Dublin; as Stephen matures, so does the writing, until it sparkles with clarity. The style presents numerous, almost insurmountable, problems for the oral interpreter, particularly one with the limited vocal range of John Lynch. But Lynch pays no attention to the problems. Instead, he identifies so completely with Daedelus, throws himself so lustily into the book, that it is as if the passionate young artist himself is bursting out of your speakers. Y.R.

  • 作者简介
  • 詹姆斯·奥古斯丁·阿洛伊修斯·乔伊斯(James Augustine Aloysius Joyce,1882年2月2日-1941年1月13日),爱尔兰作家和诗人,20世纪最重要的作家之一。代表作包括短篇小说集《都柏林人》(1914)、长篇小说《一个青年艺术家的画像》(1916)、《尤利西斯》(1922)以及《芬尼根的苏醒》(1939)。尽管乔伊斯一生大部分时光都远离故土爱尔兰,但早年在祖国的生活经历却对他的创作产生了深远的影响。他的大部分作品都以爱尔兰为背景和主题。

    Joyce is best known for Ulysses (1922), a landmark work in which the episodes of Homer's Odyssey are paralleled in an array of contrasting literary styles, perhaps most prominent among these the stream of consciousness technique he utilized. 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.
