This month we look at how marriage and divorce worked in Ireland around 1900 before analyzing &#34;The Boarding House&#34;, a story about two young people at the start of a relationship. Are they lovers destined for each other or just two strangers pushed together by circumstance? And what will happen when the girls mother, the owner of the boarding house, gets involved?#gotjoyceRead The Boarding House Online:<a href="https://www.gutenberg.org/files/2814/2814-h/2814-h.htm#chap07" rel="nofollow">The Boarding House</a>Intro Music:<a href="https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:GalwaySession1.ogg" rel="nofollow">Galway Session</a>

Two Gallants tells the story of two men progressing through the streets of Dublin but ultimately going nowhere. Packed with religious and knightly imagery, this is simultaneously one of the most whimsical and disconcerting stories in the collection. What are these men’s intentions and “did it come off?”#gotjoyceRead Two Gallants Online:<a href="https://www.gutenberg.org/files/2814/2814-h/2814-h.htm#chap06" rel="nofollow">Two Gallants</a>Intro Music:<a href="https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:GalwaySession1.ogg" rel="nofollow">Galway Session</a>

After The Race places us firmly in the adult section of Dubliners and follows youthful Jimmy Doyle and his international cadre as they spend the day and night in Dublin, eating, drinking and generally being merry, but what do Jimmy’s companions really see in Jimmy?#gotjoyceRead After The Race online:<a href="https://www.gutenberg.org/files/2814/2814-h/2814-h.htm#chap05" rel="nofollow">After The Race</a>The following essay was invaluable during our research for this episode:<a href="https://www.jstor.org/stable/25485153" rel="nofollow">Big-Power Politics and Colonial Economics: The Gordon Bennett Cup Race and &#34;After the Race&#34; - James Fairhall</a>Intro Music:<a href="https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:GalwaySession1.ogg" rel="nofollow">Galway Session</a>

Eveline shows us our heroine as she prepares to leave Ireland and thinks about all that she will leave behind. The life she will leave is a difficult one, a small one, and one where any day violence could break out. She wants to escape, but when she arrives at the port and prepares to board the ship she&#39;s no longer sure it&#39;s the right thing to do.#gotjoyceRead Eveline online:<a href="https://www.gutenberg.org/files/2814/2814-h/2814-h.htm#chap04" rel="nofollow">https://www.gutenberg.org/files/2814/2814-h/2814-h.htm#chap04</a>Read Valparaiso/The Ship online:<a href="https://ireland-calling.com/valparaiso/" rel="nofollow">https://ireland-calling.com/valparaiso/</a>Intro Music:<a href="https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:GalwaySession1.ogg" rel="nofollow">https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:GalwaySession1.ogg</a>

Araby is the final story in the “childhood” segment of the collection and once again follows the adventures of a young boy on the cusp of puberty overcoming a series of obstacles to make it to the Arab Market or Araby, acquire a trinket and win the heart of Mangan’s sister, but what he gets from the market is not what he expected.#gotjoyceRead Araby online:<a href="https://www.gutenberg.org/files/2814/2814-h/2814-h.htm#chap03" rel="nofollow">https://www.gutenberg.org/files/2814/2814-h/2814-h.htm#chap03</a>Intro Music:<a href="https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:GalwaySession1.ogg" rel="nofollow">https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:GalwaySession1.ogg</a>

An Encounter sees a group of boys skipping school for the day and charts their progress across the city of Dublin. Their encounter with a “queer old josser” gives the story’s protagonist a new insight into his relationships with his friends and a deeper understanding of himself.#gotjoyceRead An Encounter Online:<a href="https://www.gutenberg.org/files/2814/2814-h/2814-h.htm#chap02" rel="nofollow">https://www.gutenberg.org/files/2814/2814-h/2814-h.htm#chap02</a>Intro Music:<a href="https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:GalwaySession1.ogg" rel="nofollow">https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:GalwaySession1.ogg</a>

The Sisters follows the journey of a young boy dealing with the death of the local priest with whom he had developed a close personal relationship, however in true Joycean fashion, not all is as it initially seems either in the relationship between the boy and priest or the exact circumstances of the priest’s life and death.#gotjoyceRead The Sisters Online:<a href="https://www.gutenberg.org/files/2814/2814-h/2814-h.htm#chap01" rel="nofollow">https://www.gutenberg.org/files/2814/2814-h/2814-h.htm#chap01</a>Intro Music:<a href="https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:GalwaySession1.ogg" rel="nofollow">https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:GalwaySession1.ogg</a>
