About the Book

Dublin, 6 January: the Feast of the Epiphany, also known in Ireland as Women’s Christmas or Nollaig na mBan. Gretta and Gabriel Conroy attend the annual dinner party hosted by his aunts, the Morkan Sisters. As the house on Usher’s Island fills with laughter, music and dancing, the worries and secrets of the guests interweave and overlap. The festive evening culminates in a shocking confession by Gretta and a life-changing epiphany for Gabriel.

The closing story of James Joyce’s Dubliners is widely considered the greatest short story ever written in the English language. His tender portrait of the Dublin of his youth has captivated readers for over a century.

With a new introduction by the award-winning and bestselling Irish author Nuala O’Connor, this special edition of The Dead is a gift for the ages.
