Life and works of James Joyce: 

 The first of ten children of John Stanislaus Joyce and Mary Murray Joyce, James Joyce was born in Dublin on 2nd February 1882. The Joyce family's frequent changes of residence are an important aspect of Joyce's life that has a bearing on the novel. When Joyce was four, the family moved to Cork and stayed there till 1892. For about a year after that they lived in Blackrock. The family was often on the move within Dublin. Between 1888 and 1902 Joyce's education was first at Clongowes Wood College (early schooling), Belvedere College, Dublin and University College, Dublin (from where he received his B. A. degree in 1902). He then went to Paris to study medicine but that did not work out as they required fees to be paid in advance. The one year Joyce still spent in Paris meant reading in public libraries and living on small remittances from home and occasional fees that he received from reviewing books.

 In 1903, Joyce's mother was on her deathbed in Dublin. That made him rush back to Dublin. This stay in Dublin was of a little more than a year. In 1904, Joyce left for Paris in the company of Nora Barnacle (the marriage between the two came to have 'official' status only in 1931 and that too 'for testamentary reasons'). What Joyce found attractive in Nora was a striking combination of innocence and earthiness. In 1905 Joyce moved to Trieste where he taught at the Berlitz School. His son Giorgio was born in 1905. His daughter Lucia was born in 1907. The year 1906 saw Joyce doing a short stint as a foreign correspondent in a bank in Rome and later visiting Ireland where he stayed on till 1910.

 As regards the publication of Joyce's works of fiction, "Dubliners" (a collection of stories) was published in 1914, "A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man" in 1916, "Ulysses" in 1922 and "Finnegan's Wake" (taking about 16 years to complete and interestingly called "Work in Progress" during this period) in 1939.
