Lacan's rethinking of human subjectivity plays throughout the book and ultimately unites it. Not only does Leonard's work preserve the complex interplay between Lacanian theory and Joyce's texts, but also completes another and no less significant project: the rescuing of \u003ci\u003eDubliners\u003c\/i\u003e from the category of \"easy Joyce.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThroughout the readings the relevance of Lacan's ideas to feminist theory is emphasized in order to examine both what Lacan terms the \"masquerade of femininity\" and the equally illusory power structure of the \"masculine subject.\" The frequent and jargon-free explications of Lacan's terms and theories, coupled with a close reading of each of the stories, makes this a book to be consulted by anyone wishing to explore new ways to approach \u003ci\u003eDubliners, \u003c\/i\u003e new ways to read these rich stories again.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Garry M.
