Library Journal
True Joyce heads follow the roamings of Leopold Bloom and Stephen Dedalus through the pages of Ulysses every June 16. The text is so specific about the path these characters travel-both apart and together-that if you find yourself in Dublin, you literally can follow in their footsteps. Nicholson's 1988 volume traces their route chapter by chapter, providing information on the numerous landmarks mentioned, from Martello Tower in the opening "Telemachus" section to the Blooms' apartment on 7 Eccles Street in "Ithaca." Don't go to Dublin without this book in your pocket. Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information.
