If you view depression as part of the ebb and flow of life and are not unduly ruffled by it, you will recover from Dubliners just fine.

Joyce defended himself with these words: "It is not my fault that the odour of ashpits and old weeds and offal hangs round my stories. I seriously believe that you will retard the course of civilization in Ireland by preventing the Irish people from having one good look at themselves in my nicely polished looking-glass." (James Joyce Revisited by Richard F. Peterson, page 25)
