Anmeldelser
«In Joyce's eyes, Dublin is the whole world»
J.G. BALLARD
«With just one collection of stories, Joyce left his mark on almost every short-story writer who followed him»
* Guardian *
«At the root of Joyce's artistry is a radical uncertainty which allows multiple meanings and implications to live . . . but none to dominate except the idea of the many mysteries at the core of things»
COLM TÓIBÍN
«The vernacular specificity of [Joyce's] prose, his profound understanding of the fallibilities of the human condition and his joyous recountings of his city's undercarriage at work, ensure that Dubliners retains a status that few have challenged and even fewer attained»
EIMEAR McBRIDE
«Joyce made me want to write. His use of language was dazzling, impressionistic but controlled, rhythmic, diverse, achingly lyrical. He made people live on the page. He was serious, hilarious, sensitively romantic, filthy and absolutely honest»
