The Dead

Description

At a Christmas party, a revelation shatters a man's complacency forever

At a winter gathering in Dublin, friends and family come together for an evening of music, conversation and ritual. As the night unfolds, small tensions surface, and a chance revelation alters one man’s understanding of his life and his marriage. The Dead is James Joyce’s masterful story of memory, loss and awakening. Quietly devastating, it captures an essential realisation of life that lingers long after the evening ends.
