James Joyce  (Feb. 2, 1882 - Jan. 13, 1941)
James Augustine Aloysuis Joyce spent most of his life outside of Ireland, but wrote almost exclusively about Irish culture and lifestyle. After abandoning his family and hearing about the death of his mother, he scraped out a living writing book reviews before leaving Ireland with his girlfriend, Nora Barnacle. Joyce began his writing career with a series of short stories; one idea, left unwritten, later became his best known novel, "Ulysses." He wrote his final novel, "Finnegan's Wake," during his declining years, and died shortly after awakening from a coma induced by surgery.
