A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man

by James Joyce (also rec’d by Hozier , Jim Morrison , Leonard Cohen , RATM & Susan Sontag )

Buy on Amazon

Amazingly, Joyce basically tells you how to be a writer here, in one of the most dazzling, lucid, visceral memoirs. The passage where he describes standing in the mouth of a shallow, pebbly river, at sunset, having a revelation about the rest of his life, is scientifically provable to get you as high as a quarter of an MDMA tablet.
