Hey /lit/, I was about to buy Dubliners and A Portrait of the

Oxford

>Dubliners
What was that guy's who talked with the two kids fucking problem?

>>9165505
He did more than talk

>>9165512
He brainwashed the kid? What else did he do?

Oxford World's Classics. I haven't read these books, but from my experience Oxford World's Classics is always the better option in terms of explanatory notes and the introduction. Better than Penguin Classics, even. Everyman's Library tend to look fancier but I find a drop in quality with the external sections of the novels.

I have an old penguin edition. It's yellowed and funny smelling but would recommend.

Don't fucking buy the Penguin one. I loved the book, but hated the edition.

You really only need The Dead from Dubliners. This edition is fantastic. The essays are top-notch, especially the one about the chiasmus "softly falling, falling softly."

After that Portrait. Just get the edition with the best cover. So much as been written about that book, you don't really need in copy collected essays, and there is no debate over the "authentic" text like there is with Ulysses.

Return to Dubliners after you've read Ulysses.

Hell yes. That is my copy too; I found it in a box in the basement of my parent's home along with Ulysses. Mines a yellowy-reddy color scheme though.

Yeah mine is moldering a fuck also. That edition was put out in like the 60s I think so the books are over 50 years old.

What the fuck no

Read all of Dubliners, in order, then Portrait, then Ulysses...

You really needn't bore yourself.

A Little Cloud and A Painful Case you might take in as well, but until you really start to get into Joyce Dubliners can get a little long in the tooth.
