Do You Know These Dublin Locations Mentioned in “Ulysses”?

Few novels and their locations are as tightly intertwined with each other as James Joyce’s 1922 modernist masterpiece “Ulysses” and Ireland’s capital city of Dublin. In fact, Joyce once told a friend, “I want to give a picture of Dublin so complete that if the city suddenly disappeared from the earth it could be reconstructed out of my book.”

“Ulysses,” divided into episodes that roughly parallel Homer’s “Odyssey,” centers on a man named Leopold Bloom going about the city on June 16, 1904. Dozens of other characters also inhabit the story, including Buck Mulligan, Stephen Dedalus and Molly Bloom.
