Sanatçının Yeni Yetme Halleri

The language we speak is his language before mine. How different are the words 'home', 'Jesus', 'beer', 'master' in his mouth and in mine! I can neither speak nor write these words without feeling uneasy. His language, so familiar and so foreign, will always remain an acquired expression for me. My voice keeps them at bay. My soul is devouring itself in the shadow of his tongue.

His soul is both Joyce's most valuable asset and the eternal subject of his literature. So much so that he wrote his first theater play, A Brillant Career, which he wrote in 1900, saying, "I dedicate the first real work of my life to my own soul." For the novel in your hand, he says to Yeats, "I can capture a style that is fluid enough to reflect the movements of the soul": again, it is the soul that shapes the style. It is through English that Joyce will save his soul from the shadow of English, which does not belong to his own roots. This novel in your hands is a Joycean discovery of English. This being the case, an effort has been made to translate it into Joycean Turkish.
