Better pass boldly into that other world, in the full glory of some passion, than fade and wither dismally with age.
"James Augustine Aloysius Joyce" was an Irish people/Irish novelist and poet, considered to be one of the most influential writers in the Modernism/modernist avant-garde of the early 20th century.
Joyce is best known for Ulysses (novel)/Ulysses (1922), a landmark work in which the episodes of Homer's Odyssey are paralleled in an array of contrasting literary styles, perhaps most prominent among these the Stream of consciousness (narrative mode)/stream of consciousness technique he utilized. Other well-known works are the short-story collection Dubliners (1914), and the novels A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (1916) and Finnegans Wake (1939). His other writings include three books of poetry, a play, occasional journalism, and his published letters.
Joyce was born in 41 Brighton Square, Rathgar, Dublin—a kilometre from his mother's birthplace in Terenure—into a middle-class family on the way down. A brilliant student, he excelled at the Jesuit schools Clongowes Wood College/Clongowes and Belvedere College/Belvedere, despite the chaotic family life imposed by his father's love of drink and precarious finances. He went on to attend University College Dublin.
