This year is the centenary of James Joyce’s short-story collection, Dubliners<\/em>, so the book provides a predominant theme for this year’s Bloomsday. Not a great departure when both Dubliners<\/em> and Ulysses<\/em> concern the inhabitants of the same city. Dubliners<\/em> would have been published before 1914 but the book was refused by several publishers and printers who objected to Joyce’s brand of realism.<\/p>\n

The picture above is from a selection of photos of Dublin’s citizens by JJ Clarke<\/a>, all of which were taken during the time depicted in Dubliners<\/em> and Ulysses<\/em>. Elsewhere:<\/p>\n

\u2022 In honour of the Dubliners<\/em> centenary 15 writers were asked to create new stories<\/a> as a response to Joyce’s originals. Eimear McBride is one of the contributors. The Guardian<\/em> posted her response to Ivy Day in the Committee Room<\/em><\/a>, and she writes about Dubliners<\/em> here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u2022 An introduction to Dubliners<\/em> by Anthony Burgess<\/a>, written in 1986 then never published, with illustrations by Louis le Brocquy.<\/p>\n

\u2022 James Longenbach<\/a> reviews The Most Dangerous Book: The Battle for James Joyce\u2019s ‘Ulysses’<\/em> by Kevin Birmingham.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Richard Hamilton<\/a>‘s series of drawings and prints based on Ulysses<\/em> are on display at the British Museum.<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0Stefany Anne Golberg<\/a> on the old people, young people, and priests of Dubliners<\/em>.<\/p>\n
