Review
‘recently reached the Irish bestseller lists, a feat it never achieved during his lifetime’ — Irish Daily Mail ‘this is a book that will always be read … a book about the beautiful thing that is language, the means by which we always come home’ — Irish Daily Mail ‘a pleasant edition’ — Books Ireland ‘James Joyce’s most accessible book and perhaps his most unerringly beautiful one … if you’ve never read it … I envy you the magnificent pleasures lying in wait … a most readable and beautiful collection’ — Irish Daily Mail ‘if you have never actually read our most famous writer … then the 15 stories in Dubliners are the perfect place to start … if this is the only book you read this year’ — Evening Herald ‘I had never read Dubliners, as I thought it would be far too ‘serious’ and ‘challenging’ but what I discovered was a fantastic read, full of humour, pain and loss – a must-read for those who love our fair city and those who want to try a bit of Joyce” — dailyupdate.ie ‘a handsome reissue’ — RTE Guide
