Hardcover. Dubliners' Dozen is an exploration of those narrative devices that make James Joyce's Dubliners a writerly rather than a readerly text. In place of a single comprehensive theory that integrates all of the stories, Dubliners' Dozen trades entirely in 'micro-theories'- a term for specific fragments of larger theoretical structures.
