Description: Firmly etched into these pages are Irish city life, character, types and traits, with Dublin as the background. With perfect objectivity and reticence suggestive of reserve power, the author makes of each of these short stories a tensely wrought composition, disclosing in balanced relief some idea or situation of universal import. No reader of this book can fail to become a Joyce enthusiast.
