A richly detailed literary travel guide, Frank Delaney's work charts the streets, landmarks, and neighborhoods of Dublin as seen through the lens of James Joyce's monumental novel Ulysses. Delaney maps the real-world geography of the city against the single-day journey of Leopold Bloom, illustrating how Joyce transformed the mundane topography of early twentieth-century Dublin into an epic landscape of modernist literature. Written with warmth, wit, and an infectious enthusiasm for both the city and its most famous chronicler, the text makes the dense world of Ulysses accessible and vivid for readers at every level of familiarity with Joyce's work. It presents a compelling case for Dublin itself as a living character in the novel, tracing the precise routes, pubs, and public spaces that Joyce immortalized with painstaking accuracy. Whether used as a companion to Ulysses or as a standalone portrait of a city steeped in literary history, this guide deepens the reader's appreciation of Joyce's genius and the remarkable city that inspired it.
