Publisher's Synopsis
"Cosham reads with a gentle accent that enhances Joyce's Dublin...." --Library Journal
James Joyce's Dubliners is a collection of 15 short stories that focus on the lives of everyday Dublin residents at the turn of the 20th century. Joyce's brutal honesty and compelling insight into the lives of Dublin's middle class citizens has made this work accessible to generations of readers and listeners. Because it was explicit and critical of the church, it was censored all across Ireland, and two publishers broke their contracts with Joyce rather than publish it. Today, Dubliners is perhaps the best-known and most influential short story collection written in the English language.
