James Joyces writings centre on the city of Dublin, where he was born into a middleclass family in 1882. Despite this preoccupation, he left Dublin for the continent in 1904 and spent most of his life abroad. Joyce first caught the attention of critics with Dubliners, a brilliant collection of short stories, and rapidly grew in fame and status with his groundbreaking streamofconsciousness style and the explicit content of his prose in such works as Ulysses and Portrait of an Artist as a Young Man. The Dead is universally acknowledged as one of his best works, both in its style and emotional intensity. It tells the tale of one evening in the life of Gabriel Conroy at a dinner party, and an ensuing conversation with his wife Gretta that sparks feelings of the utter solitude and, paradoxically, of the interconnectedness of humanity. Also included in this collection are the following stories "After the race", "Araby", "The Boarding House", "Clay", "Counterparts", "An Encounter", "Eveline", "A Little Cloud", and "Two Gallants".
