James Joyce set the tone for the literature of the twentieth century. His novels Ulysses and A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man were named the first and third best English-language novels of the twentieth century by Modern Library. The style, narration, and content of his works defined the Modernist literature movement. His works also inspired work in other fields—philosopher Jacques Derrida, for example, wrote a book on Joyce’s use of language in Ulysses. Whether you want to read them for their own merits or study them for their influence on Western literature, these books are a must.
