Status Updates From Dubliners

When I was in high school, we went to a musical that was based on the last story in this collection, “The Dead”. I enjoyed it, but I didn’t have the faintest clue who Joyce was. I recognized it when we were assigned Dubliners as part of a college class on The Short Story, but I know that back then I read barely more than I needed to to get by. I’m not happy about then, but I’m reading it now.
