Joyce is one of the most influential writers of the twentieth century. Try his first book Dubliners and discover Joyce's apparent simplicity. Readers will find no plainer English, humanity, humor and genius. Joyce set out to paint a picture of Dublin so vivid the city could be recreated from his books. The course concludes with a viewing and discussion of John Huston's "The Dead", the last story in Dubliners and perhaps the finest story in the English language.
