The Most Beautiful Sentence in the Entire English Language (by James Joyce)
I read a lot of novels when I was in school. College and law school only managed to get in the way of my reading.

The Dead and the Almost Dead: Joyce's Dubliners
I consider Dubliners the best and most accessible writing of Joyce. Dubliners consists of 15 short stories of varying lengths, written in several different styles.

DUBLINERS: A Fine Linen Sheet Drawn Over the Form of Ireland
While I have nothing against the Spoken Word, certainly not Sir Derek Jacobi reading Joycean prose for 9 1/2 hours to a hapless commuter stuck in gridlock while driving to work from Springfield to Chicago, Syracuse to NYC or Sonoma to San Francisco, might I suggest actually READING Joyce's...

Dubliners
Don t you think there is a certain resemblance between the mystery of the Mass and what I am trying to do?...To give people some kind of intellectual pleasure or spiritual enjoyment by converting the bread of everyday life into something that has a permanent artistic life of its own. -- James Joyce, in a letter to his brother With these fifteen stories James Joyce reinvented the art of fiction, using a scrupulous, deadpan realism to convey truths that were at once blasphemous and sacramental. Whether writing about the death of a fallen priest ( The Sisters ), the petty sexual and fiscal machinations of Two Gallants, or of the Christmas party at which an uprooted intellectual discovers just how little he really knows about his wife ( The Dead ), Joyce takes narrative places it had never been before. The text of this edition has been newly edited by Hans Walter Gabler and Walter Hettche and is followed by a new afterword, chronology, and bibliography by John S. Kelly. Also included in a special appendix are the original versions of three stories as well as Joyce s long-suppressed Preface to Dubliners.

| Joyce, James: "I am trying...to give people some kind of intellectual pleasure or spiritual enjoyment by converting the bread of everyday life into something that has a permanent artistic life of its own....Do you see that man who has just skipped out of the way of the tram? Consider, if he had been run over, how significant every act of his would at once become." | ||
