About this listen

The final (and longest) story in James Joyce's short story collection The Dubliners, "The Dead" is one of Joyce's most beloved works of short fiction.

Taking place at Christmastime, the tale revolves around Gabriel Conroy and his wife Gretta, who are attending a holiday party hosted by Gabriel's elderly aunts. In typical Joycean style, this seemingly mundane setting hides many of the guests' mysteries, not the least of which is shielded by Gretta herself. When her secret finally spills forth, it has a profound and immediate effect on Gabriel, changing his life forever.

A powerful and elegiac examination of life, love, and the very nature of the Irish identity, this volume is presented in its original and unabridged format.
