Book Of The Week: James Joyce's "Dubliners"



This collection of 15 short stories should be a part of every home library. James Joyce is Dublin's most heralded son, and this set of short stories paints a perfect picture of the city and its people at the turn of the century.

Despite the fact that several of the stories deal with life's more difficult moments and obstacles such as death and illness, very few writers are able to convey ideas with such ease and eloquence as Joyce.

If you have some more time on your hands, try reading "A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man" by Joyce, considered by many to be his greatest work.
