Joyce, Portrait of the Artist
Williams, Voyage to Pagany
I don't remember whether Creeley's protagonist in The Island or Dorn's in

How about movies, other than Cocteau's Orphee? And forgetting the minor
appearance of Joyce Kilmer in a war film. And of course the thing about TS
Eliot's marriage. Oh yes, Bride of Frankenstein.
