It took Joyce nine difficult years to get this now-classic collection of short stories published, at last, in 1914. They show Irish middle class life in and around Dublin in the early years of the twentieth century.
Each tale includes an epiphany: a moment (often understated) where a character experiences self-understanding or illumination. Many of these characters would later appear in minor roles in Joyce's novel Ulysses.
The collection starts with stories narrated by child protagonists, and then addresses the lives and concerns of progressively older people, following Joyce's tripartite division of the collection into childhood, adolescence, and maturity.
In 1987 John Huston made a film of "The Dead", the most elegiac of the pieces here.
