Thread Name: Song from film The Dead (James Joyce book)
Subject: RE: Song from film The Dead
As I was saying, I don't understand why it's considered superior to all other English-language short stories. Is it because of the details, like the music? Does anyone know of a good analysis, in book or article form, that would help me understand the details of the story? I find the entry about the music above (not the entry by that nitwit with keyboard problems, but the one above that), I find that fascinating. I'd like to understand once and for all why the story is considered to be the greatest ever written. Thank you.
