Summary
James Joyce didn't just write books; he destroyed the novel and built it back up again. From the paralyzed streets of Dubliners to the dream logic of Finnegans Wake, he pushed the English language to its absolute breaking point to forge the "uncreated conscience" of his race.

The Center of Paralysis: The trapped souls and spiritual "epiphanies" of Dubliners.
The Artist's Rebellion: Stephen Dedalus’s rejection of God and country in A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man.
