Whodunits in Dubliners: what Joyce says, and how he means

The work of a super-sleuth, this book places every story and every sentence of Joyce's Dubliners under a microscope, leaving no word unturned. It investigates every bit of evidence, direct and circumstantial, and invents a whole new analytical approach to show how Joyce manipulates his readers into believing his narrators' fictions, while the reality is hidden in plain sight. The book is essential for any serious reader of Dubliners. It solves mysteries that have eluded Joycean scholars, but also contrives to be a guide for the general reader. Indeed, for anyone who reads this book, Dubliners will never be the same again.
