THE DEAD is the final short story in the 1914 collection Dubliners by James Joyce. It is the longest story in the collection and is often considered the best of Joyce's shorter works. The story centres on Gabriel Conroy on the night of the Morkan sisters' annual dance and dinner in the first week of January 1904, perhaps the Feast of the Epiphany (January 6). Typical of the stories in Dubliners, "The Dead" develops toward a moment of painful self-awareness; Joyce described this as an epiphany. The narrative generally concentrates on Gabriel's insecurities, his social awkwardness, and the defensive way he copes with his discomfort.
James Joyce
James Joyce was an Irish novelist, short story writer, and poet, and a key figure in modernist literature. Born in Dublin, his works often explore the city’s society and culture. Joyce pioneered experimental techniques like stream of consciousness, interior monologue, and innovative language. His major works include ‘Dubliners’, ‘A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man’, ‘Ulysses’, and ‘Finnegans Wake’, profoundly influencing 20th-century literature and narrative style.
