Publisher Description
Often cited as the best work of short fiction ever written, Joyce's elegant story details a New Year's Eve gathering in Dublin that is so evocative and beautiful that it prompts the protagonist's wife to make a shocking revelation to her husband—closing the story with an emotionally powerful epiphany that is unsurpassed in modern literature.
"The Dead" is the final short story in Joyce's 1914 collection Dubliners. It is the longest story in the collection and widely considered to be one of the greatest short stories in the English language. At 15,672 words it has also been considered a novella.

The Dead
What a picture. Too bad the reader did not love this beautiful word picture. I can see the candles flicker and feel the night chill
what a shame
This is one of the best novella's ever written. Unfortuanately the narration does not do it justice.
