Description

Dubliners is a collection of short stories by James Joyce. The stories are set in Dublin, and they explore the themes of paralysis and escape. Many of the characters are trapped in their own lives, and they find relief through escape into alcohol, sex, or religion. The stories are narrated by a third-person limited point of view, and Joyce uses a stream-of-consciousness technique to capture the inner thoughts of his characters.

Author

James Joyce (1882–1941) is the defining modernist of English prose — an Irish writer who took Dublin and made it the measure of the world. Dubliners offers exact, unsentimental stories of a city caught between paralysis and desire; A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man follows a mind awakening into language and exile. Ulysses remains his monumental achievement: a single day in Dublin told with such invention that ordinary life becomes epic.
