by Cóilín Owens
Pubdate: 2/26/13
If you’ve read Dubliners, James Joyce’s collection of short stories set in early 20th-century Ireland, you might remember a brief story about an automobile race, a young college student named Jimmy Doyle, and Jimmy’s glamorous and wealthy European “friends.”
You will not believe how much this story can reveal. Dig into Joyce’s short story “After the Race” with lifelong Irish literary scholar Cóilín Owens, and watch this one small tale explode into a staggering Joycean universe.
