JOYCE, J.: Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (A) (Unabridged)
This fictionalised portrait of Joyce’s youth is one of the most vivid accounts of the growth from childhood to adulthood. Dublin at the turn of the century provides the backdrop as Stephen Dedalus moves town and society, towards the irrevocable decision to leave – the decision made by Joyce himself and which resulted in the mature novels of Ulysses and Finnegans Wake.
