Dubliners 100th Anniversary by Patrick A. ODougherty, An Appreciation
This year 1914 is 100th anniversary of the publication of James Joyce's Dubliners. 
The remarkable dimension of this book is Dublin, the City, is the hero.  The book reveals the families of Dublin and the nurturing of an artist's literary ambitions, which forged the Irish Literary Rival and helped produced the Abbey Theater.  The city and language merge with youth and the Irish patois.  The public face of Dublin come together like a White elephant. The private sorrows of the citizens fill the stories of Dubliners in a diversity and complexity of the Catholic, the Quaker, the Jew, the immigrant, the native in a naturalistic description approaching a shopping list.  Joyce's writing and passion come together in a loneliness at a river promontory.  His invitation is for the reader to come together in an creative engagement with the city of Dublin in a strange Slan--hello, goodbye.  For example, hello goodbye from the 7 Hills of St. Paul, Mn. Relate your artistic literary ambitions with meaning and feeling to these Dubliners stories.  Heed Joyce's collective invitation to break the paralysis of your life
In self disclosure in the immediacy, intimacy, and expectancy of St. Paul's street life.
