In the summer of 1968 when I was teaching a graduate seminar on James Joyce in a French-Canadian university, it dawned on me that some of my experiences were very similar to those of Joyce. Joyce rebelled against his narrow Catholic environment, his home, his religion, and his country. He left Ireland to return but once. Even though he spent most of his life abroad, all his works were about Dublin, which in the words of Harold Pinter “was the one great influence of his life—a great Irish Catholic shadow that forever lay over him.”3 |
