James Joyce Statue, Dublin

James 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 novel which perfected his stream of consciousness technique and combined nearly every literary device available in a modern re-telling of The Odyssey.

The statue in Earl Street, Dublin was sculpted by Marjorie Fitzgibbon and unveiled in 1990.
