• Resumen

  • James Joyce's vital attitude, his self-imposed exile and egocentric posture, is viewed in the paper as correlate of his way of writing, in which words, motifs, location, time and action are centrifugal forces to the very stream of narrative process. Exile as a subject matter is studied both literally and metaphorically in his biography and work, and also is his specific experiments with language.

    A brief perspective of Joyce's importance to postmodernist authors is also offered at the end of the essay.
