James Joyce James Joyce James Augustine Aloysius Joyce (2 February 1882 – 13 January 1941) was an Irish novelist, short story writer, and poet. He contributed to the modernist avant-garde and is regarded as one of the most influential and important authors of the 20th century. Joyce is best known for "Ulysses" (1922), a landmark work in which the episodes of Homer's "Odyssey" are paralleled in a variety of literary styles, most famously stream of consciousness. Other well-known works are the short-story collection "Dubliners" (1914), and the novels "A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man" (1916) and "Finnegans Wake" (1939).
Two Gallants (band) flipped several times, pinning Stephens' shoulder against the roof of the van and severally dislocating it. Stephens was unable to even hold a guitar for several months afterward, and the band was finally able to reunite in early 2012. After almost a five-year break between albums, Two Gallants released their fourth album, "The Bloom and the Blight", on September 4, 2012 on ATO Records. Produced by John Congleton, "The Bloom and the Blight" is notably much heavier, with a more pronounced loud/soft dynamic than their previous work. The album received a score of 71 out of 100 on Metacritic for
