É um conto (a caminho de novela) com apenas dois defeitos - o segundo consequência do primeiro: é curto e não alcança tudo o que podia. A escrita de Joyce acentua a sensação de brevidade do texto e fica a apetecer mais. Ulisses, um dia?

"why is it that words like these seem dull and cold? is it because there is no word tender enough to be your name?"
'his soul swooned softly as he heard the snow falling faintly through the universe and faintly falling, like the descent of their last end, upon all the living and the dead.'

this was surprisingly entertaining??
Better pass boldly into that other world, in the full glory of some passion, than fade and wither dismally with age.

I haven't read Joyce in ages and didn't remember him being so easy to read as this story. I will admit that I was expecting something a little more...supernatural from the story, given the title (maybe I should pick up a Stephen King book next). I don't think I scraped the surface of understanding the text, really, but I enjoyed the atmosphere that he creates with the holiday party and snow-dusted streets of Dublin.

I've never been able to tackle "Ulysses", but this novella makes me love James Joyce. I think I wrote three papers on "The Dead" at BYU. Those last two pages never get old.
