Joyce’s other poems include the moving “Ecce Puer,” written on the occasion of the birth of his grandson, and his fiery satires “The Holy Office” and “Gas from a Burner.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eExiles\u003c\/i\u003e was written after Joyce had left Ireland, never to return; it is a richly nuanced drama that reflects a grappling with the state of his own marriage and career as he was about to embark on the writing of \u003ci\u003eUlysses\u003c\/i\u003e. In its tale of an unconventional couple involved in a love triangle, \u003ci\u003eExiles \u003c\/i\u003eengages Joycean themes of envy and jealousy, freedom and love, men and women, and the complicated relationship between an artist and his homeland.","brand":"Everyman's Library","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43366830571775,"sku":"9780375712333","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9780375712333_s600x595.jpg?v=1775601169","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9780375712333","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
