Due to the popularity of our series last year ‘Know your Flann from your Cruiskeen Lawn’ to mark the centenary of the birth of Brian O’Nolan, we are taking on James Joyce’s ‘Dubliners’ this season. ‘Dubliners’ is the nominated book for the ‘One City -One Book’ in April, promoted by Dublin and DLR Libraries.

The work of James Joyce has come out of copyright this year so there will be renewed interest in his work. His collection of short stories ‘Dubliners’ is an ideal pathway into his exciting work.

The sessions will be on Tuesdays this year. We will use the same format as last time with some speakers and actors helping us to bring the text to life. We will begin on Tuesday 21st February at 7.30pm. Admission is free but must be pre-booked.

Dubliners is a collection of fifteen short stories. It took three years to write. It was published in 1914. It is eminently readable. The first three stories deal with childhood, second three with adolescence (in Joyce’s day this went up to thirty –there were no teenagers then!). The final ones deal with adult life. All the stories are drawn together in the final well known story… ‘The Dead’.
