In exploring everyday life and its intersections with death, this enduring collection of stories offers a naturalistic depiction of the working class in early twentieth-century Dublin. Joyce masterfully portrays frustrations and aborted desires to escape the mundane; transformative epiphanies both great and small; and the restraints, loneliness, violence, and contemplations of lives lived.

Joyce spent ten years on it, burned an early draft, and published it only after Ezra Pound intervened; it ends with Stephen Dedalus leaving for the continent, as Joyce himself had done at twenty-two.
