The title might make you think this couldn't possibly be a Christmas story but you'd be wrong - it's as uplifting a story as you're ever likely to read. The Dead details a New Year 's Eve gathering in Dublin that is so evocative and beautiful it prompts the protagonist's wife to make a shocking revelation to her husband that reveals an emotionally powerful epiphany regarding the intersections between life and death. This story first appeared in Joyce’s collection The Dubliners, published in 1914, and is now widely considered one of the best short stories in modern literature.Reproduced here in this beautiful Día De Los Muertos edition and published by Fahrenheit Press just because we can.
