The Dead

It would be difficult to overpraise this wonderful recording from Joyce's Dubliners. Setlock has a beautiful, subtly accented, fluid, flowing voice, a spritely voice, perfect for Joyce's spinsters and his drunks, the priests and little boys, the old politicians. Setlock does a superb job with the dialogue, with the incredible sensuality of Joyce's work, the telling detail, the moments of irretrievable loss. If one could change anything, it might be to slow him down slightly, the more to savour the words, but that would interfere with the flow and energy of Joyce's prose. E.J.M.

St. Louis Post-Dispatch, November 1990 "Danny Huston and Kate Mulgrew are the readers of the Joyce stories and give them a quality they deserve, exposing the Irish life of a different time. Joyce's rich verbal flavorings are savored by these capable actors as the author describes the way in which individuals are touched by people they don't necessarily know and who may no longer be living." --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
