In this episode, I explore the early influence that James Joyce had on the short works of Djuna Barnes--two prolific, early 20th century authors. I discuss the similarities between Barnes' short story, "Night," and James Joyce's "The Dead" from Dubliners. Much scholarship has been devoted to the influence of Joyce on Barnes' novels, but scholarship is scarce concerning his influence on her short stories as a budding writer in Paris after WWI.
