Irish writer of Dublin life whose novel 尤利西斯 (Ulysses), following one day in Dublin in 1904, changed the modern novel. His stories Dubliners are also widely read.
His last novel, 《芬尼根的守灵夜》 (Finnegans Wake), is notoriously hard to read, yet the Chinese translation of its first third sold out its 8,000-copy first printing within weeks in 2013. The physics word 'quark', 夸克, was taken from a line in it.
