Before you Read Dubliners by James Joyce - Book Summary, Analysis, Review
Welcome to the CodeX Cantina where our mission is to get more people talking about books! Was there a theme or meaning you wanted us to talk about further? Let us know in the comments below! Today we talk about James Joyce's Dubliners. We spent the last three years going through these stories. Revelations were made. Mistakes were made. That's the journey we take with this masterpiece. We hope to get people excited about this book and consider taking another round with us. There are always new stones to overturn with its many themes of paralysis, stagnation, alienation, home rule, independence, frustration, and more. We used the Richard Ellmann and Don Gifford guides at many points.

Nice! We had rented a car to drive to the Cliffs of Moher and had thought about heading to Galway area if we had time but didn’t end up having time. Glad you enjoyed it nevertheless
Great analysis and introduction. (and the production values!)

this video couldn't come in a better time; I have been reading the Brazilian Portuguese translation from the 60s and all stories keep up with time. All themes still feel very current - I'm already at its last story and, while reading, liked to imagine all of these stories happening somewhat simultaneously as streets and alleys that connect. We, as the reader, knowing its map, are able to walk through each one of them without getting lost, but more and more found in each of the centers of characters. Great book!

I started backwards... I read Finnegans Wake first. I finished it, but for the most part I have no idea what I read.

One way or another, the characters of these 15 short stories all experience an epiphany. Dubliners is a very good introduction to Joyce, but one has to read Ulysses to understand Joyce’s genius. I always come back to it the same way I always come back to Proust’s À la recherche du temps perdu. As for Finnegans Wake, I hope I’ll finish it someday! By the way, great Bloomsday T-shirt and congratulations on your channel! I love your Faulkner videos!

Great introduction! Your series going through each story really helped me with my comprehension. So, now that you've done Portrait of the Artist and Dubliners, are Ulysses discussions on the horizon or is that a little too ambitious for now? (Let alone Finnegans Wake, which I'd imagine would probably require an entire video for every single paragraph alone lol)

Well, Ulysses is probably too ambitious but we’re doing it anyways. It’ll be slow to work through it but we’re on chapter 8 now. Very different!

You know my favorite story is "Grace," or "Eveline" (or "Two Gallants!") but I was thinking about "Clay" and Maria and the ritualistic party games they played; the tiny hidden toys in the cake ... Need some "footnotes" on all that 😂

I very recently read this book - or I tried to. I managed most of it, but I found it just too boring! I'm all for human, everyday stories; for instance, Bukowski is my favourite writer. So what's wrong here? What am I missing? Great video by the way!

There’s no singular piece of literature that’s for everyone. And also maybe it will hit people differently at different points in their life.

Why would anyone want to watch a review and analysis of a book before reading it?

I think dubliners is much greater than ulysses for its depth and infinite discoveries in your life. Ulysses is just tremendous information about everything and the style wich is enigmatic and relaxing. Dubliners lightens numerous ways in your life and it slaps you in the face. I think it's the greatest book ever written when it comes to doing something helpful for an individual reader or humanity generally.
