Summary
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.

Couldn’t listen to it - Narration awful
Hey Audible would it have killed you to hire an Irish person to narrate this book? The actor is American and is doing an awful job at an Irish accent and is pronouncing everything wrong! It’s not the actors fault I’m sure he’s trying but be-gorra to be sure to be sure Joyce is spinning in his grave lol
