About meI'm Irish, though that's more a love-hate-relationship, and a writer; according to Wikipedia I'm 'widely considered to be one of the most influential writers of the 20th century'. I guess I owe that to books as Ulysses and Finnegans Wake. Well, you can read more about what other people think about me right here.

PS: For anybody interested: I was born on 2 February 1882 in Dublin, and died on 13 January 1941 in Zürich.

About my libraryMy books, as listed in Gillespie's Inverted Volumes Improperly Arranged. James Joyce and his Trieste Library (Ann Arbor: UMI Research Press, 1980). I'll tag these IVIA. Unfortunately, only the books I owned in Zürich (tagged Zürich) are properly listed, as are the books I consulted for (tagged books consulted) and those I referred to in Ulysses. I hope that some day I'll find all those other lists of books!
