The Dead by James Joyce

At a lively holiday gathering in Dublin, Gabriel Conroy's evening is filled with music, conversation, and a haunting revelation that will alter his understanding of love and mortality. As the snow falls quietly outside, secrets from the past emerge, challenging Gabriel to confront his deepest fears and desires.
Dive into James Joyce's masterpiece, where the festive season unearths poignant truths about identity and the passage of time. For those who relish rich, introspective narratives, "The Dead" is a profound exploration of the nature of love, both first love and married love, that lingers long after the final page.

Beautiful story! This was required reading for a literature class way back in college; decades later I enjoyed listening to your wonderful interpretation! Of course, my perspective has changed over the years, and now I perceive the story’s meaning …albeit with jaded eyes Oh, to be young again, knowing what I know now.💙

As always beautifully read. I love James Joyce. I’m going to Ireland in November, Dublin, and I’m gonna check out the original manuscript of Ulysses, which I’ve read twice. He really gets into the nitty-gritty of somebody’s brain. Thank you as always you’re awesome Tony. 1:31:26

Mortality, selfishness, epiphany

….ah, it’s the cat I feel sorry for…. Like Copper, in Maugham’s “The Magician”, merely a device left hanging for those of us of a pedantic bent. 🙄

What cat?
