Introduction by John Banville
James Joyce was "the" singular figure of modernism, and to this
day his grand vision looms large over contemporary literature and
the entire Western canon. His stylistic innovations were
revolutionary, yet nowhere is Joyce more accessible than in this
volume of short stories, a brilliant collection that celebrates,
critiques, and immortalizes the place that Joyce knew better than
anyone else: Dublin. From the young boy encountering death in the
opening story, "The Sisters," to the middle-aged protagonist of its
haunting finale, "The Dead," considered one of the greatest short
stories of all time, "Dubliners" is a vivid portrait of the city in
all its glory and hardship, and a seminal work that redefined the
short form. Featuring a new Introduction by acclaimed novelist John
Banville, this edition is not only a breathless portal into Joyce's
"dear dirty Dublin" but a vital literary treasure from one of the
great masters of all time.
