Description
"Exiles" is his only play, which he wrote in the midst of composing "A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man" and "Ulysses." Joyce noted Henrik Ibsen and his last play "When We Dead Awaken" as major influences. He described the play itself as "three cat and mouse acts," a story that chronicles a group of people trying to come to grips with reconciling idealistic principles with their own passions.

Lo mismo se dijo del Ulises cuando en 1924 un grupo de notables españoles la declararon intraducible.
