In the Footsteps of Leopold Bloom Tues 14:00, Thurs 11:00
This tour explores the background to Joyce’s Ulysses and to Bloom’s thoughts as he crosses the city in the ‘Lestrygonians’ episode. A humorous contrast of well-fed and under-fed citizens is mixed with a commentary on city buildings, and the presence of police constables reminds us of the realities of Dublin as a colonial city.
