“Life is too short to read a bad book.” ― James Joyce

Happy Birthday to James Joyce who is considered to be one of the most influential writers in the modernist avant-garde of the early 20th century.
His greatest work, Ulysses was published in Paris in 1922 but on its release, sharply divided critics because of its innovative style. Thankfully, this only made the book more successful, although the controversy over the obscenity of some of the events lead to it being banned in several countries.
Every year the events of his best known novel, Ulysses, are recreated in their exact locations and lots of literary events are held around the country. Plenty of people walk around Dublin in period costume for the day too, which really brings the whole day to life… and often confuses the locals!
