Summary |
In this, James Joyce's first published work in prose, he paints vivid portraits of the inhabitants of the city of his birth, giving what Joyce described as "the moral history of his community." From the first story, where the young boy encounters death, to the haunting final story involving the middle-aged Gabriel, this collection gives an unflinching and realistic portrait of "dear dirty Dublin. It is a remarkable portrait, by turns bawdy and witty, but always darkened by a paralysis of spirit and emotions. |
