Oh the Sublime! Oh the Bleak!
But I’m here for it!!!
Joyce hints and seduces in these mundane stories.You need a separate book of social commentary to know exactly what is going on.
What I like so far is-I like that these are snapshots in time,sometimes a typical day(An Encounter) or an important event(The Sisters).
I’m reading 2 collections of short stories from different periods and parts of the world📚

Eveline is the story I’ve connected with most of the seven I’ve read so far.
It feels timeless. Why did it remind me so much of Rapunzel? I loved it. 😍❤️🥰
I see why Joyce is heralded. No tricks, no overreaching, no forced wisdom - just focus on the written word and the story. Almost literal, yet also sublime in a quietly creative way. And he’s the king of endings. I adore how he closes. 🔥
