Alexander G. Gonzalez, English Department, had his article, “Joyce’s Presence in Iris Murdoch’s ‘Something Special,’” published in Studies in Short Fiction after very lengthy and unforeseen printing delays. The article shows that all 15 of James Joyce’s Dubliners stories are referred to in Murdoch’s story, many of them being veiled references. Murdoch’s story emerges as an homage to Joyce, as references to Ulysses and A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man are also present.
