In electronic literature, early author Michael Joyce's Afternoon, a story deploys the ambiguity and dubious narrator characteristic of high modernism, along with some suspense and romance elements, in a story whose meaning could change dramatically depending on the path taken through its lexias on each reading.

Joyce's high modernism had its influence on coming generations of Irish novelists, most notably Samuel Beckett ( 1906 – 1989 ), Brian O ' Nolan ( 1912 – 1966 ), who published as both Flann O ' Brien and Myles na Gopaleen, and Aidan Higgins ( born 1927 ).

Egerton's experimentation with form and content anticipated the high modernism of writers like James Joyce and D H Lawrence, and Egerton's The Wheel of God often reads as a sort of rudimentary template for Joyce's A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man.

* Every episode of James Joyce's modernist novel Ulysses ( 1922 ) has an assigned theme, technique and correspondences between its characters and those of Homer's Odyssey.

** The modernist classic Ulysses by James Joyce is first published complete in book form by Sylvia Beach's Shakespeare and Company in Paris on February 2 ( Joyce's 40th birthday ), with a further edition published in Paris for the Egoist Press of London on October 12 ( much of which is seized by the United States Customs Service ).

To take an even more extreme example, Jacques Derrida's essay Ulysses Gramophone, which J. Hillis Miller describes as a " hyperbolic, extravagant ... explosion " of the technique of close reading, devotes more than eighty pages to an interpretation of the word " yes " in James Joyce's modernist novel Ulysses.

Playfulness is present in many modernist works ( Joyce's Finnegans Wake or Virginia Woolf's Orlando, for example ) and they may seem very similar to postmodern works, but with postmodernism playfulness becomes central and the actual achievement of order and meaning becomes unlikely.

James Joyce's Finnegans Wake, composed in a uniquely complex linguistic style, coined the words monomyth and quark.

The writing style is notable also for Joyce's omission of quotation marks ; he indicated dialogue by beginning a paragraph with a dash, as is commonly used by French or Russian publications.

The first paragraph of A Painful Case is an example of this style, as well as Joyce's use of global to local description of the character's possessions.

James Joyce's Ulysses is also considered a comic novel with an underlining theme full of puns and a carefully crafted narrative style.

Sollers is so fascinated by Joyce's style that he and Stephen Heath collaborated to translate Joyce's Finnegans Wake into French.

The most innovative thing about the series was the " style " of film in which each sister's story was shot ; for example, Cassie's story was shot on 16mm to make it appear to be a U. S. soap opera, Madelaine's story was shot in soft focus to make it appear to be a French film, Roxeanne was filmed as though appearing in a gritty BBC documentary, and Joyce's story was filmed like an Ealing comedy.

Stuart Gilbert and Sylvia Beach believed that Joyce wrote the second letter of protest himself, as it is addressed to " Mr. Germs Choice " and " Shame's Voice " alternately ( two puns on Joyce's name ), and the letter itself is written in a pastiche of the punning style that Joyce was then using in his published work.

In October 1880, Holliday had trouble with a gambler named Johnny Tyler in Milt Joyce's Oriental Saloon.

Over the next few years, Joyce's method became one of " increasingly obsessional concern with note-taking, since obviously felt that any word he wrote had first to have been recorded in some notebook.

In 1933 Cerf won United States v. One Book Called Ulysses, a landmark court case against government censorship, and thereafter published James Joyce's unabridged Ulysses for the first time in the United States ( one chapter had been published in a Chicago-based literary magazine, which had led to its being found " a work of obscenity ").

Hamilton felt his re-working of the illustrations in many different media had produced a visual effect analogous to Joyce's verbal techniques.

Joyce's comments came in response to a pamphlet published by one of the party's Victorian Senate candidates, Danny Nalliah who in his capacity as a church pastor had criticised other religions and homosexuality.

The count attracted considerable media attention because Joyce's election contributed to the ruling Coalition government having control of the Senate for the first time since 1981, a result that few political commentators had expected.

In Joyce's Irish names of places we find the following interesting information as to the original name of the place: " Long before the city had extended so far, and while Stoneybatter was nothing more than a country road, it was -- as it still continues to be -- the great thoroughfare to Dublin from the districts lying west and north-west of the city ; and it was known by the name of Bothar-na-gCloch ( Bohernaglogh ), i. e., the road of the stones, which was changed to the English equivalent, Stoneybatter or stony road.

If you even mouth the words silently, suddenly what seemed incomprehensible ( Hubert Butler called it " Joyce's learned gibberish ,") leaps into referential meaning, by its sound, since page after page is rich in allusion to familiar phrases, parables, sayings of all kinds – and the joyous and totally brilliant wordplay, over and over again imperceivable until you actually listen to it – transforms what was an unrelievable agony into an adventure.

Louise Bogan, writing for Nation, surmised that while " the book's great beauties, its wonderful passages of wit, its variety, its mark of genius and immense learning are undeniable [...], to read the book over a long period of time gives one the impression of watching intemperance become addiction, become debauch " and argued that " Joyce's delight in reducing man's learning, passion, and religion to a hash is also disturbing.

One of the book's early champions was Thornton Wilder, who wrote to Gertrude Stein and Alice Toklas in August 1939, a few months after the book's publication: " One of my absorptions [...] has been James Joyce's new novel, digging out its buried keys and resolving that unbroken chain of erudite puzzles and finally coming on lots of wit, and lots of beautiful things has been my midnight recuperation.

Divided into " suites ," this musical shift is typified by longer and more experimental compositions such as the nine-minute instrumental " Spare Chaynge " and Grace Slick's mammoth and unusual " Rejoyce ," an homage to James Joyce's novel Ulysses, with its quirky arrangement and Jack Casady's stentorian bass line.

Joyce's Ulysses was then serialised in The Egoist but because of its controversial content it was rejected by all the printers approached by Weaver and she arranged for it to be printed abroad.
