“Araby” is a short story written by James Joyce. This short story is about a young boy in Ireland obsessed with the girl living across the street. When the young girl mentions how badly she wants to attend a certain bazaar, he sees an opportunity to win her heart by attending the bazaar himself and bringing her back a gift.The story opens with the narrator’s description of his home and neighborhood, in which we first see Joyce’s use of the close first-person narrator to convey the full sensory range of sensory detail – sights, smells, colors, textures – that comprise the setting. The author is James Joyce was an Irish novelist, short story writer, poet, and literary critic. He contributed to the modernist avant garde movement and is regarded as one of the most influential and important writers of the 20th century.
