“Counterparts” is the story of Farrington, a bitter middle-aged man who sneaks away from work every day to drink and is often reprimanded by his boss. One evening, he joins friends on a pub crawl, but the more he drinks the unhappier he becomes. When he arrives home, he beats his son on a pretext.
Centering on the concept of epiphany, Irish writer James Joyce’s short-story collection Dubliners (1914) deals with contemporaneous Irish political and social issues. It is structured to mimic a human life, beginning with stories about childhood and progressing to stories that deal with adult concerns and finally old age and death.
