    James Stephens y James Joyce han sido mencionados como referentes de la aclamada ópera prima de Caitriona Lally, Eggshells (2015). El presente artículo pretende estudiar esta nueva y brillante plasmación de la ciudad de Dublín a través de los ojos de Vivian (supuestamente cambiada por las hadas al nacer), cuyas cavilaciones creativas joyceanas en torno al lenguaje le sirven para retratar el Dublín contemporáneo, a la vez que proyectar imaginativamente otros mundos en los que se pueda sentir más a gusto.

    James Stephens and James Joyce have been mentioned as referents for Caitriona Lally’s highly acclaimed debut novel, Eggshells (2015). The present contribution intends to study this new brilliant rendering of the city of Dublin through the eyes of allegedly ‘changeling’ Vivian, whose Joycean creative musings on language serve her to portray contemporary Dublin, as well as to imaginatively project portals to other worlds where she can feel more at ease
