James Joyce
This is a story from the Dubliners, Volume 1 collection.
James Joyce's Dubliners is a collection of short stories about the lives of the people of Dublin around the turn of the century. Each story describes a small but significant moment of crisis or revelation in the life of a particular Dubliner, sympathetically but always with stark honesty. Many of the characters are desperate to escape the confines of their humdrum lives, though those that have the opportunity to do so seem unable to take it. This work holds none of the difficulties of Joyce's later novels, such as Ulysses, yet in its way it is just as radical. These stories introduce us to the city which fed Joyce's entire creative output, and to many of the characters who made it such a well of literary inspiration.

Narrator Jim Norton has received an AudioFile Earphones Award and was a finalist in the 2005 Audies for his rendition of James Joyce's Ulysses, and he provides another magnetic performance with this story from Joyce's collection Dubliners. "An Encounter" follows schoolboys obsessed with stories about the American Wild West, and their attempts to recreate these adventures. Norton creates their world with sympathy but not sentimentality, and the story's characters are given individual cadences and variations in accent that quickly mark out their personalities. A true pleasure for listeners who wish to hear Joyce's words spoken in a native Irish accent.
