Overview

Among the most read and studied stories in English literature, these 15 tales offer vivid, tightly focused observations of the lives of Dublin’s poorer classes. At least one, "The Dead," is considered a masterpiece of the form. Taken together, the stories offer an excellent introduction to the work of one of the 20th century’s most influential novelists. They are reprinted here, complete and unabridged, from a standard edition.

I enjoyed the narration of this collection, it certainly gave me more insight into the characters than I would've been able to infer from reading the book. However, I guess I need a course in James Joyce to understand the point of most of the stories. He certainly doesn't hit you over the head with the message. Some of the stories just seem to stop, with no discernable reason why they stopped at that point. Get this if you enjoy listening to an exquisite collection of Irish accents, or have a literary history degree.
