The Dead (Joyce short story)

15 Usher's Island, the house once partly rented by Joyce's great aunts which was the model for "the dark gaunt house on Usher's Island", the principal setting for the story "The Dead" is the final short story in the 1914 collection ''Dubliners'' by James Joyce. It is by far the longest story in the collection and, at 15,952 words, is almost long enough to be described as a novella. The story deals with themes of love and loss, as well as raising questions about the nature of the Irish identity.

The story was well-received by critics and academics and described by T. S. Eliot as one of the greatest English-language short stories ever written. It was later adapted into a one-act play by Hugh Leonard and into the 1987 film ''The Dead'' written by Tony Huston and directed by John Huston. Provided by Wikipedia
