Embrace the old nightmare, James Joyce's Dubliners. Hooray!!!
Interrogating the book as a colonial writing, it was painfully boring and tough from start to finish.
However, the pain has lingered in my mind for years and, again, very recently.
Like a kid longing for a lollipop, finally, I bought the book happily last Friday. (even happier, right before going to the office and shared my excitement with my workmate in the office)
An American friend of mine once replied to my silly twittering in facebook ("why the hell am I becoming a historian?"), and said "is it painfully fun?" Bingo!!!
