James Joyce 
Dubliners 

Booze, sex, and hot floury potatoes-those Dubliners are at it again!Liars, thieves, whores, and priests: James Joyce sure knew how to throw a party! This relentlessly downbeat collection explores the very worst aspects of human nature, and doesn’t leave out the juicy bits. It might not be in the best possible taste, but who doesn’t want to get down and dirty in Dublin?
