Anyone else had the chance to enjoy Dubliners, by James Joyce? (lemmy.world)

A friend gave this to me in Ireland when I was living on a green card there, jobless, in debt, and in poverty. It’s really a touching collection of stories about people who have lived in Dublin.

Yep and it's refreshingly accessible compared to his later books.

I haven’t read anything else written by this author. I’ve heard stories about how Ulysses was banned for some gross sexual description. I’ll stick to Dubliners!
