Favourites were Araby (delusional love for older girl), Eveline (frozen between home and love), A Little Cloud (envy, meaning of success, superficiality), Counterparts (repetition of work, alcoholism, beats his son) and The Dead (lack of fulfillment, interruption) . The last 5 pages of The Dead are very powerful.
