Dublin

Today is Bloomsday

What is it?
James Joyce's Ulysses is set in Dublin on June 16, 1904 - 'Bloomsday', for the novel's everyman anti-hero, Leopold Bloom, who wanders the city. The Bloomsday tradition began in 1954 when a group of Dublin writers set out to visit all the landmarks mentioned in the book, reconstruct its events and down a few pints.
