I'm almost finished with The Imperfectionists, finding it overall rather grim. If you recall the story about the "old" guy and his "much younger" girlfriend (27), where the picture of her gets circulated ... near the end of the story, we find out he's only 41 - I had thought he was more like 60 the way the author put such a fine point on it!
I haven't listened to any Dubliners stories in a while. I believe the reader has more of an generic English accent than a heavy Irish one, at least for the omniscient third-person voice. I ripped the stories from a CD set and put them on my Sony e-reader actually, for times when I just didn't feel like actually continuing with the ebook, downtime, etc.
