At last, a complete and unabridged recording of Dubliners. James Joyce's classic collection of stories set in the famous city. Brought to life when read out loud, this audio version is an accessible alternative to the texts, which can often be challenging to read due to Joyce's acclaimed 'train of consciousness' style. Dubliners is also a key text on many school and university courses.

The reader T.P. McKenna was a well-established Irish stage and television actor.

Critic reviews

"A remarkable collection...this is one to savour and revisit."
"...skill, subtlety, diversity and sheer brilliance...Season the mix with the voice of one of the greatest Irish actors ever, and you're talking about a true classic."

but why are the stories out of their correct sequence? Each story is a gem, but the collection does not work as a whole as presented here.

Beautifully written and beautifully read

Correct me if I’m wrong, but the stories in this collection seem to be in the wrong order. Joyce was very particular about how he arranged his work and I am quite sure something of the Dubliners experience is lost when the stories aren’t in their original order.

Certainly this is no Ulysses, thankfully. I have perhaps avoided Joyce due to a failed attempt to come to term with his "masterpiece". So pleased that I gave this a chance and I will look, carefully, for more of his writings. This is a collection of well crafted tales of chapters in the lives of ordinary irish folk.

Well written & performed but all the stories seemed the same. I found I zoned out.

Dreary

Glorious story only marred by narrator's mouth noises. Maybe an old recording. Very much worth listening to

Glorious but...
