Summary

Complex tales of the Irish city and its inhabitants from the author of Ulysses

First published in 1914, Dubliners is brought to life by acclaimed Irish actor, T. P. McKenna, Joyce portrays human relationships in Ireland at the turn of the century brilliantly. His characters are so vivacious and exciting and the stories so fresh, evocative and entertaining that they could well have been written today. A complete and unabridged collection of short stories about this Irish city and the inhabitants, Dubliners represents both an ideal introduction for newcomers and 'dip-in-and-out' listen, and a welcome for established Joyce fans.

Critic reviews

If you're looking for the single short story collection that epitomises the skill, subtlety, diversity and sheer brilliance of the genre, this has to be it. Season the mix with the voice of one of the greatest Irish actors ever, and you're talking about a true classic. (Sue Arnold, The Guardian)

but why are the stories out of their correct sequence? Each story is a gem, but the collection does not work as a whole as presented here.

Beautifully written and beautifully read

Correct me if I’m wrong, but the stories in this collection seem to be in the wrong order. Joyce was very particular about how he arranged his work and I am quite sure something of the Dubliners experience is lost when the stories aren’t in their original order.

Out of order

Certainly this is no Ulysses, thankfully. I have perhaps avoided Joyce due to a failed attempt to come to term with his "masterpiece". So pleased that I gave this a chance and I will look, carefully, for more of his writings. This is a collection of well crafted tales of chapters in the lives of ordinary irish folk.

Well written & performed but all the stories seemed the same. I found I zoned out.

Dreary

Glorious story only marred by narrator's mouth noises. Maybe an old recording. Very much worth listening to

Glorious but...
