Enigmatic, vivid, and terse, James Joyce’s Dubliners continues
both to puzzle and to compel its readers. This collection of essays
by thirty contributors from seven countries presents a
revolutionary view of Joyce’s technique and draws out its
surprisingly contemporary implications by beginning with a single
unusual premise: that meaning in Joyce’s fiction is a product of
engaged interaction between two or more people. Meaning is not
dispensed by the author; rather, it is actively negotiated between
involved and curious readers through the medium of a shared text.
Here, pairs of experts on Joyce’s work produce meaning beyond the
text by arguing over it, challenging one another through it, and
illuminating it with relevant facts about language, history, and
culture. The result is not an authoritative interpretation of
Joyce’s collection of stories but an animated set of dialogues
about Dubliners designed to draw the reader into its lively
discussions.
