I listened to Joyce's Dubliners on CD. The various short stories were read by famous Irish actors and authors. The reading of "The Dead," my favorite story of the lot, by Stephen Rea was so incredibly sensitive to every nuance and poignant. The emotion carried in Joyce's writing is amazing. The absolute miscommunication between the two that have been married for so long... The desparate longing for someone else to understand and speak the same "language" as we do... The arrogant assumption on all our parts that others are thinking our selfish desires when we are. It is an amazing story and is read so beautifully. Check it out.
