The essay argues that there is strong link between the making of the story and the deconstruction of a national identity: the fragile exploration of anxieties of belonging and nationhood opens up a space for thought through words, inviting the reader to think about the relationship between language, space and time and affirming the importance of literature in contemporary times

Generally and simplistically defined as an all-Irish example of Bildungsroman, the novel is striking for the presentation of an environment in which comic transgressions seek to invalidate the social occasions on which the protagonist finds himself. While the conventions of the genre itself invoke a possible but distant progression and acquired maturity for the ‘unhero’, a story of failure and despair, an “exegesis of squalor” takes over, with attacks to the Roman Catholic Church and the education received at its schools as a constant motif. The aim of my contribution would be to analyse the way in which language is used as a source of humour to give voice to the story of an orphaned distanced narrator named Finbarr and evaluate how the text draws inspiration and distances itself from another canonical Irish Bildungroman, James Joyce’s A Portrait of the Artist as a young Man

It is open to essays from scholars both from Italy and abroad, and its broad intertextual approach is intended to develop a greater understanding of James Joyce, the man and the artist. The project was initiated in the early 1980s by a research team at the University of Rome, 'La Sapienza' led by Giorgio Melchiori. It subsequently passed to the Università Roma Tre. Originally no house style was imposed regarding the individual essays in the collection, but in recent issues a standardized style sheet has been adopted which can be found at the end of each volume. 1 See also Franca Ruggieri's Introduzione a Joyce (1990: 167). 2 The number of publications on the language of Joyce is so vast that only a very small selection can be mentioned in the context of an introduction such as this. In addition to the studies detailed here, I must at least mention Knowels 2001, Rice 2008, Spurr 2011. On the polyglot atmosphere of Trieste see McCourt 2000. 3 See Terrinoni 2012 for a discussion of the impact of the Irish context on Joyce's approach to language.
