A Little Cloud

<p><b>Irish modernist writer and author of <i>Ulysses</i>, James Joyce, brings the city and all its characters alive in six affecting, atmospheric stories selected from his iconic 1914 collection <i>Dubliners</i>.</b><br>Relationships old and new, real and imagined are put to the test in ‘Eveline’ and ‘Araby’. In ‘A Little Cloud’, a young father reflects on his life as he sits in a pub with an old friend fresh from travels abroad.
