10 Clay

James Joyce

(4.7 estrellas; 3 reseñas)

The tenth story in James Joyce's Dubliners, "Clay" tells the tale of the spinster Maria, a laundress, who celebrates Halloween with her former foster child Joe Donnelly and his family. This work reflects life in Ireland at the turn of the last century, revealing unromantic realities through its vivid storytelling.

Each of the fifteen stories in Dubliners offers glimpses into the lives of ordinary Dubliners, collectively painting a portrait of a nation. Joyce’s work captures the cadences of Dubliners’ speech and portrays their outer and inner lives with an almost brute realism. Dubliners is Joyce at his most accessible and profound.
