James Joyce's early masterpiece.

From childhood stories and wetting the bed to life as a college student and intellectual awakening; we follow Joyce’s narrative as he sounds the inner conscience of his hero, Stephen Dedalus.

Without a doubt, Portrait unlocked and empowered Joyce’s writing style moving forward, culminating in the towering Ulysses and stretching language even more so in the Gordian Knot that is Finnegan’s Wake.

As our third publication, Copperhead Press is pleased to present, "A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man" by James Joyce.
