James Joyce: The Dead

James Joyce: The Dead
- Used Book in Good Condition
Often cited as the best work of short fiction ever written, "The Dead" is the final short story in the 1914 collection Dubliners by James Joyce. Rightfully considered a short story masterpiece, "The Dead" tells the tale of a man (Gabriel) who, at a party hosted by his aunts in Dublin in the early part of the 20th century, has a moment of self-realization and spiritual awakening when his wife tells him about a relationship she had as a young girl with a youth who loved her passionately. James Joyce's elegant story details the New Year's Eve gathering as so evocative and beautiful that it prompted Gabriel's wife to make a shocking revelation to her husband, closing the story with an emotionally powerful epiphany that is unsurpassed in modern literature. A beautifully written story by a masterful author, the ending paragraphs in "The Dead" are some of the most haunting and lyrical in all of literature.
