Quotation of James Joyce

[TheGreatTerror]

Apparently in his book Dubliners, a collection of 15 short stories, James Joyce described Ireland as "That pig-ignorant ****hole". I apologize for the vulgar language! But I wondered which story it was that he said this in.

Thanks very much for any help.

It's not from Dubliners. And your vulgarity didn't make it -- this forum automatically censors people's language. I think that's pretty reprehensible.

Thank you. Yes, the censorship of the vulgar word become quite palpable after the post was made, but the word is fairly easy to guess I think.

Anyway, let's not derail, shall we? If anyone knows whether this is a true quote, and if so, where it is from, please feel free to share your knowledge.
