Read about the other entries on the list.Dubliners, James Joyce
The final, magisterial story “The Dead” is focused on a Christmas dinner. The table is spread with a goose, an enormous crusted ham, spiced beef and an extraordinary list of desserts: blancmanges, figs, custard, jellies and chocolate. I’ll be putting figs and baked custard on the table this year.
Dubliners is among Ann Beattie's six favorite books and Ciarán Hinds's six best books.
