Feb. 2: James Joyce, Irish author

BORN FEBRUARY 2:

James Joyce (1882-1941) Irish novelist, short-story writer, and poet. The semi-autobiographical novel A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man is readable, as are the wonderful stories in The Dubliners. Ulysses is more of a challenge, but is on many "best books" lists anyway; but only the brave--or foolhardy--attempt Finnegans Wake.
