![]() ![]() If you could furnish a short story about 1800 words suitable for insertion the editor will pay £1. Could you write anything simple, rural?, livemaking?, pathos?, which could be inserted so as not to shock the readers. Look at the story in this paper The Irish Homestead. In summer of 1904, George Russell of the editorial department of the weekly paper The Irish Homestead wrote Joyce a letter in regards to a section of the journal called "Our Weekly Story": It is revealed that the priest had died after an illness, and the narrator and his aunt visit the priest's home, where they are met by the priest's sisters, Eliza and Nannie. The narrator had brought the priest snuff daily, and the priest had taught the boy about numerous topics, especially the traditions of the Catholic Church. "The Sisters" deals with the death of a priest, Father Flynn, who is shown to have had an association with the narrator, a young boy. The story details a boy's connection with a local priest, in the context of the priest's death and reputation. Joyce later revised the story and had it, along with the rest of the series, published in book form in 1914. Originally published in the Irish Homestead on 13 August 1904, "The Sisters" was Joyce's first published work of fiction. "The Sisters" is a short story by James Joyce, the first of a series of short stories called Dubliners. ![]()
