* * 1882-1941 James Augustine Aloysius Joyce?(2 February 1882 – 13 January 1941) was an?Irish?novelist?and?poet, considered to be one of the most influential writers in the?modernist?avant-garde?of the early 20th century. Joyce is best known for?Ulysses?(1922), a landmark work in which the episodes of?Homers?Odyssey?are paralleled in an array of contrasting literary styles, perhaps most prominently the?stream of consciousness?technique he perfected.

Stream-of-consciousness writing is usually regarded as a special form of interior monologue（独白）?and is characterized by associative leaps in syntax and punctuation that can make the?prose（散文）?difficult to follow.
