Interpretation of an authors scriptures comes with the querrie that trying to analyze ones work comes with the understanding that you know his backround equally expressive thus being able to figure out his work. The Potrait of an Artist as a Young Man regards a fictional portrait of the author himself. Through the book he moves from one geographical and spiritual orbit to another, walking in lengthening radius until he is ready to take up flight therefor presenting his past, a reflection of his first 20 or so years of his life.
