Read, or rather completed, as it has been dipped in and out of for literally years, as part of the Book-et List reading journey.
Dipping in and out is no problem as Dubliners is a collection of character sketches set in the city. Each is well crafted but inconsequential, as the characters are everyday folk going about their everyday business or pleasure. The settings seem authentic and atmospheric but are probably appreciated better by those who know the city and its folk first hand, than by those looking in from over the water.
Will this taste of
Joyce tempt me into one of his novels? I think it unlikely.
