Why is James Joyce's 'Dubliners' so Cool?

On the 100th anniversary of James Joyce's "Dubliners," three New Yorkers among the book's biggest fans talk about how the Irish writer's collection of stories continue to inspire them: author Victor LaValle, Larry Kirwan of the band Black 47, and author and broadcaster Frank Delaney.

Hi

[@37Dionysos]

And what does such a comment make you?

[@herrklamm1454]

B rad you seem cool.

[@ariadnac.3228]

Dubliners isn't that great though.

[@williamdrouin8063]

The dead is though. I agree with you however, Ulysses is a divine work of art. I dont really care about finnegans wake. Even if it is the dialect of genius, I dont really care about it

[@EK-ev3pt]

Some of it is great, Araby, Ivy in the Committee Room, Eveline, and the Dead of course.

[@georgemorley1029]

It’s immense.

[@Tolstoy111]

It’s pretty great

[@arch_dornan6066]

I've only read the first 3 stories so far and love all of them tbh. I get that it's not for everyone but it has the feel of going to your grandma's house
