[PAR] [TLE] James Joyce [SEP] James Augustine Aloysius Joyce (2 February 1882 – 13 January 1941) was an Irish novelist, short story writer, and poet.  He contributed to the modernist avant-garde and is regarded as one of the most influential and important authors of the 20th century.  Joyce is best known for "Ulysses" (1922), a landmark work in which the episodes of Homer's "Odyssey" are paralleled in a variety of literary styles, perhaps most prominently stream of consciousness.  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, his published letters and occasional journalism.
