James Joyce, Irish novelist, noted for his experimental use of language in such works as Ulysses (1922) and Finnegans Wake (1939). Joyce's technical innovations in the art of the novel include an extensive use of interior monologue; he used a complex network of symbolic parallels drawn from the mythology, history, and literature, and created a unique language of invented words, puns, and allusions.
James Joyce was born in Dublin, on February 2, 1882, as the son of John Stanislaus Joyce, an impoverished gentleman, who had failed in a distillery business and tried all kinds of professions, including politics and tax collecting. Joyce's mother, Mary Jane Murray, was ten years younger than her husband. She was an accomplished pianist, whose life was dominated by the Roman Catholic Church. In spite of their poverty, the family struggled to maintain a solid middle-class facade.
Through what Joyce described as their "style of scrupulous meanness," the stories present a direct, sometimes searing view of Dublin in the early twentieth century. The text of this Norton Critical Edition is based on renowned Joyce scholar Hans Walter Gabler's edited text and includes his editorial notes and the introduction to his scholarly edition, which details and discusses Dubliners' complicated publication history. "Contexts" offers a rich collection of materials that bring the stories and the Irish capital to life for twenty-first century readers, including photographs, newspaper articles and advertising, early versions of two of the stories and a satirical poem by Joyce about his publication woes. "Criticism" brings together eight illuminating essays on the most frequently taught stories in Dubliners-"Araby," "Eveline," "After the Race," "The Boarding House," "Counterpoints," "A Painful Case," and "The Dead." Contributors include David G. Wright, Heyward Ehrlich, Margot Norris, James Fairhall, Fritz Senn, Morris Beja, Roberta Jackson, and Vincent J. Cheng.

评分据说“不做无聊之事,何遣有涯之生”。倚声家自张门面之意,倒也不失为恬然自适。厕上读小说诚然煮鹤焚琴,然小说确可算得上发端于无聊的罢,陈思王“澡迄敷粉”、“科头拍袒”对着邯郸淳跳丸击剑所诵的“诽优小说”虽不是现代意义上的叙事体小说,其消遣之作用、娱情之雅意实...
再看一次作者的照片,再一次感叹,世界各个角落的人类都在想要向前,想要逃离,但一般都是枉然。无数看似乏味的故事,一遍一遍地说着鼓起勇气改变貌似是不可能的。
评分在我心目中,短篇小说就是应该这样写的。
评分短篇集,情节不算跌宕,每一篇都是一幅画(如果说至爱梵高是用画来讲故事,Dubliners则是拿文字当画笔)。
评分永远属于短篇小说的 细腻的戛然而止。
评分Contexts部分附的材料太有价值了
