Joyce wrote this as an early life autobiography. It’s properly fiction, though resembles his
own experiences of growing up. It’s called by the critics as a “stream of conciousness” novel, which you know when you read. Language is too british, as in the conversation etc. The last 50 pages are brilliant. A must read for classics lovers and anyone who has read and liked Joyce
