Bloom as Flâneur | Ulysses as an encyclopedic glossary of Dublin »
In Joyce’s Ulysses we follow the peripatetic Leopold Bloom, our mostordinary hero, as he walks though the streets of Dublin in 1904. It is in Ulysses, through Bloom and his unstructured perambulations, that the reader is brought to experience a domestic psycho-geography of Dublin.
Liffey River. Dublin.
“But the general appereance of the river, flowing between its quays and under its bridges, had not changed. Yes, the river still gave the impression it was flowing in the wrong direction.”
~Samuel Beckett
