Even the Dubliners stories? “The Dead” might be the best short story ever written in English.

I cannot stand his style. Period.

Those that like it, enjoy, but please don’t belabour me with tales of how impressed and admiring you are of his work, because I am not the least impressed. And I managed to slog my way through War and Peace.

Oh, and 16000 words is NOT a short story, it’s a small novella that is droning on and on and on and on and on about NOTHING of any import. It’s sort of like the TV show “Seinfeld”, but less entertaining. Oh, I learned that show was meant to be a comedy. Who knew?
