Incidentally I've just bought Dubliners on Amazon, should receive in a few days. Never read Joyce before
>>8199929
you're overrated. Araby is so communicative and great, especially the ending. (I agree about the rest though)
>>8199929
Is dubliners a good entry point to start reading Joyce or should I read portrait of a young artist first?

>an encouter is underrated and araby is overrated
araby literally expressed what an encouter wanted to say and more in fewer words
real underrated is clay

it's not even that it's the way it managed to re affirm the themes and motifs of the whole piece and then provide backbone for the entire structure of the collection through its ending, going back to the first story's child's fascination with the corpse

excuse me while i yawn my dick off while you justify being enraptured by cuckery

Pathetic. In before "I'm just pretending to be retarded."
The best story in Dubliners was A Painful Case, because I identified with it the most and because I read for plot and need validation from fictional books.
I don't know about the worst, probably the one about the guy who couldn't afford enough peas.
