    About this ebook

    “Exiles” is a 1918 play in three acts by Irish writer James Joyce. Started just after the outbreak of WWI in 1914, it is essentially a study of a husband-and-wife relationship which harks back to the final story in “Dubliners” and forward to his magus opus “Ulysses”. This fantastic play will appeal to lovers of the stage and constitutes a must-read for fans and collectors of Joyce's seminal work. James Augustine Aloysius Joyce (1882–1941) was an Irish short story writer, novelist, teacher, poet, and literary critic. Joyce is famous for contributing to the modernist avant-garde and is today considered to be among the most important authors of the 20th century. Other notable works by this author include: “Ulysses” (1922), “A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man” (1916), and “Dubliners” (1914). Read & Co. is republishing this classic work in a brand new edition complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.

    James Joyce

    James Joyce was born in Dublin in 1882. He came from a reasonably wealthy family which, predominantly because of the recklessness of Joyce's father John, was soon plunged into financial hardship. The young Joyce attended Clongowes College, Belvedere College and, eventually, University College, Dublin. In 1904 he met Nora Barnacle, and eloped with her to Croatia. From this point until the end of his life, Joyce lived as an exile, moving from Trieste to Rome, and then to Zurich and Paris. His major works are Dubliners (1914), A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (1916), Ulysses (1922) and Finnegan's Wake (1939). He died in 1941, by which time he had come to be regarded as one of the greatest novelists the world ever produced.

      Joyce's writing in this play is sort of wonderfully intentional, and it reminded me very much of those works I'd already read by him--The Dead perhaps especially. This is one of those rare cases where I think I'm glad to have read a play rather than seen it in person, and watching the characters play out of the page uncomfortably intimate and real in a way that can only speak to Joyce's mastery.
