Every year on 16 June, the world celebrates one of Ireland’s most iconic literary figures, James Joyce, and his epic novel, Ulysses. Bloomsday recalls Leopold Bloom’s day and night of wandering through Dublin. But it has also become something bigger: an opportunity to mark the literary achievement and global reach of so many wonderful writers from the island of Ireland. This year we celebrate Bloomsday & Beyond with booksellers from around the world who explain why writing from Ireland, the island of writers, resonates so strongly with their readers.
