this video couldn't come in a better time; I have been reading the Brazilian Portuguese translation from the 60s and all stories keep up with time. All themes still feel very current - I'm already at its last story and, while reading, liked to imagine all of these stories happening somewhat simultaneously as streets and alleys that connect. We, as the reader, knowing its map, are able to walk through each one of them without getting lost, but more and more found in each of the centers of characters. Great book!

I started backwards... I read Finnegans Wake first. I finished it, but for the most part I have no idea what I read.

Nice! We had rented a car to drive to the Cliffs of Moher and had thought about heading to Galway area if we had time but didn’t end up having time. Glad you enjoyed it nevertheless

Great introduction! Your series going through each story really helped me with my comprehension. So, now that you've done Portrait of the Artist and Dubliners, are Ulysses discussions on the horizon or is that a little too ambitious for now? (Let alone Finnegans Wake, which I'd imagine would probably require an entire video for every single paragraph alone lol)

Well, Ulysses is probably too ambitious but we’re doing it anyways. It’ll be slow to work through it but we’re on chapter 8 now. Very different!

One way or another, the characters of these 15 short stories all experience an epiphany. Dubliners is a very good introduction to Joyce, but one has to read Ulysses to understand Joyce’s genius. I always come back to it the same way I always come back to Proust’s À la recherche du temps perdu. As for Finnegans Wake, I hope I’ll finish it someday! By the way, great Bloomsday T-shirt and congratulations on your channel! I love your Faulkner videos!

It is amusing that stories dripping with sexual imagery, like "A Painful Case", were objected to by the censoring publishers on grounds of real-name citations. I went through the vestibular entrance to Pheonix Park, up to the crest of the Magazine Hill, to see the Wellington Monument sticking up before the hospitable red lights of Dublin...only a Dubliner would have been familiar with this implicit image at the time. Joyce must have rejoyced that the newspaper was called "The Mail" as it stuck buffly out of the tight reefer overcoat pocket, and his walking stick tempo is an erotic sound track; the Kingstown train with its fiery head brings the exquisite writing to an eddy of interruptus.

You know my favorite story is "Grace," or "Eveline" (or "Two Gallants!") but I was thinking about "Clay" and Maria and the ritualistic party games they played; the tiny hidden toys in the cake ... Need some "footnotes" on all that 😂

I very recently read this book - or I tried to. I managed most of it, but I found it just too boring! I'm all for human, everyday stories; for instance, Bukowski is my favourite writer. So what's wrong here? What am I missing? Great video by the way!

I think dubliners is much greater than ulysses for its depth and infinite discoveries in your life. Ulysses is just tremendous information about everything and the style wich is enigmatic and relaxing. Dubliners lightens numerous ways in your life and it slaps you in the face. I think it's the greatest book ever written when it comes to doing something helpful for an individual reader or humanity generally.

I completely agree! Right from the beginning Joyce is joyfully telling us to "wake up!" and escape from the spiritual paralysis of a conformist society, as he himself did. Ulysses is the best comic book in English, but Dubliners is a practical handbook on what not to do! Peace
