Does not contain Ulysses but so far it's pretty good. I'm probably going to read The Dead a second time through.

>Does not contain Ulysses
Why would it? It says "Dubliners"... although Ulysses did start out as a short story to be included in Dubliners but obviously it grew far to large for that.
lol imagine if Dubliners came out and it had all the same stories but also had the entirety of Ulysses in it

Dubliners is very comfortable and well paced, it contains a germ of the labyrinthine style in the longer novels. If you're "reading Joyce" it's nice, but not entirely necessary, to get a feel for his short stories. More than anything it's just a charming - or not so much - picture of the city lol
