James Joyce, a pivotal figure in modern literature, is renowned for his deep connection to Dublin despite living abroad in cities like Trieste, Zurich, and Paris. His works, including the short story collection "Dubliners" and the semi-autobiographical novel "A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man," explore themes of identity and belonging. However, it was "Ulysses," published in 1922, that garnered both acclaim and controversy, facing bans in the U.K. and U.S. and sparking a landmark obscenity trial in 1933, solidifying Joyce's complex legacy.
