Seventy years after James Joyce's death copyright has expired so all sorts of shenanigans with his work now there's no fear of reprisal from his estate.
"From a musical version of Finnegans Wake to the release of a tranche of manuscripts online by the National Library of Ireland, the expiration of copyright in James Joyce's works this year means the annual celebration of all things Joycean – Bloomsday – will be wider-reaching than ever. But, behind the scenes, scholars continue to scrap over the legacy of the great man."

If we're talking about favourite short stories my favourite would definitely be The Dead. Also loved the film with Angelica Houston.

This does not appeal to me but I think it is a good thing that people have access to Joyce's work and can use it in different guises.
