Dubliners by James Joyce
3.0

Dubliners is a collection of short stories that can be read with many different perspectives or interpretations. I personally didn’t enjoy every single story in this collection, but each of them has their place in telling a bigger story.

I enjoyed some stories a lot, other stories were mediocre in entertainment value and some were just boring. That being said, the most enjoyable part of this book is seeing how the stories are connected. What are the reoccurring themes throughout the collection? How do all of these elements come together?

I don’t think I’d read this for enjoyment, or recommend it as a whole to people. I will however, recommend certain ones within the collection, as some of them are beautiful.
