I have been on a fiction streak lately and bought James Joyce's "Dubliners" since I will need it this fall anyway. I am not sure what I think, exactly, however while the stories are good they seem to end too abruptly; there isn't really an ending.
After reading the first few stories I have to admit I was rather annoyed. James Joyce, a classical master of literature, who...
That's how I felt! It just seemed to stop in mid flow. Or is that the way he meant it? As I think about it, no story ever really ends anyway. Was James just merely capturing a snapshot of a story? Possible. And if that is the case, then it is genius. If that is not the case, then I want my money back and would be hard pressed to read more of his work!
However, there must be something more since he he so revered in the world of literature, so I am sure I will give him more looks in the future. However, is writing is great and I do find it very enjoyable to read; except his endings....
