Yet, while he left his native country behind, he never stopped writing about it. He published his well-known short story collection, \u003cem\u003eDubliners, \u003c\/em\u003ein 1914 and the coming-of-age novel \u003cem\u003eA Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man\u003c\/em\u003e two years later. In 1922 came \u003cem\u003eUlysses, \u003c\/em\u003e the book that would make Joyce famous and infamous at the same time: extremely controversial in its time, \u003cem\u003eUlysses\u003c\/em\u003e was banned in the U.K. and the U.S. and led to a landmark obscenity case in 1933.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eSimply Joyce\u003c\/em\u003e, author \u003cstrong\u003eMargot Norris\u003c\/strong\u003e strips the mystery from Joyce's ground-breaking books by offering a clear introduction to why and how they were produced.
