Dubliners is a book of short stories by James Joyce the last of which is  called “The Dead”. What James Joyce does uncannily well is give you the impression that you are there when he recreates  the night of the Morkan sisters’ annual dance and dinner in the first week of January, 1904.  You time travel to that world of a hundred years ago. You will feel you know personally all the main characters, Gabriel, his wife Gretta, Lily the maid, Freddy Malins, and the off stage Michael Furey. Read this book or see the John Huston film and this story will never leave you
