In fact, its author-and its would-be publishers-endured a painful nine-year-long struggle before the book made it to print. His collection of short stories depicting the everyday trials and tribulations of the residents of his hometown was released with minimal fanfare in June 1914, but-given the immense literary importance of his subsequent works like A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man and the groundbreaking 1922 Modernist masterpiece Ulysses-has since risen in significance.īut Dubliners didn’t just appear out of nowhere. This month marks the 100th anniversary of the publication of author James Joyce’s Dubliners.
