James Joyce and his fellow Dubliners

James Joyce is counted among the most renowned Irish writers. His fiction includes Stephen Hero, Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, Dubliners, Ulysses, and Finnegan's Wake. Throughout these books, he explores the city of Dublin and its inhabitants, especially their inner side. This concentration on his characters' minds, thoughts, feelings, etc, eventually led Joyce to be one of the best exponents of the so-called stream-of-consciousness technique.
