Why is it called Stephen's Room?

Nialle is still haunted by the character from the two books she studied intensely for almost ten years: Stephen Dedalus of Portrait of the Artist and Ulysses by James Joyce. Though young and uncertain, Stephen's driving questions were about writing and aesthetics, so this room is named for him.

her hiding place under the collected personal
letters of Whitman and Williams.
