I found Dubliners frustrating. They are not so much short stories as vignettes and I was often left scratching my head after each one, confused as to what the point of it all was.

I think "vignettes" is a good way to look at them. They aren't really plot-driven, rather each one builds to a psychological or spiritual moment, what Joyce called "epiphanies"
