‘Dr. K’ Opens WestportREADS Event on ‘Dubliners’

There was a full house at the Westport Library today for the opening event of the library’s month-long WestportREADS program this year featuring James Joyce’s “Dubliners.” Veteran Staples High School English teacher Gerry Kuroghlian, known to legions of students as “Dr. K,” provided history, background and insight into the characters, the stories and the city of Dublin. “There is lots of humor in the book even though some of the themes are dark,” he said. “My wife is Irish, and I have found that you can’t be Irish without having a sense of humor.” (CLICK TO ENLARGE) Phyllis Groner for WestportNow.com
