James Joyce

James Joyce — 3 titles in the rankings, first published between 1914 and 1922. They average 7.6, below the 7.8 the whole catalogue averages.

Editor’s note Start with Dubliners, fifteen clear, quietly devastating stories of ordinary Dublin lives; it is his best rated and most read book. A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man follows Stephen Dedalus growing up and breaking away, and rates lowest. Ulysses, a single day in Dublin on 16 June 1904, is famously demanding: a guide or annotated edition helps, and many readers find it rewarding once they stop worrying about catching everything.
