This is a book club episode. In it, Travis and Amanda will discuss and analyze the first half of DUBLINERS by James Joyce. You should expect full “spoilers,” discussions of rhetorical elements, and celebrations / critiques of style and substance.
From the cover: “Perhaps the greatest short story collection in the English language, DUBLINERS, completed when James Joyce was only twenty-five and first published in 1914, is a vivid and unflinching portrait of ‘dear dirty Dublin’ at the turn of the twentieth century…DUBLINERS is Joyce at his most accessible and most profound.”
