Why is James Joyce's 'Dubliners' so Cool?

On the 100th anniversary of James Joyce's "Dubliners," three New Yorkers among the book's biggest fans talk about how the Irish writer's collection of stories continue to inspire them: author Victor LaValle, Larry Kirwan of the band Black 47, and author and broadcaster Frank Delaney.
