Dublin, says writer Nuala O'Faolain, may be the only city in the world that has both a patron saint and a patron book.
The saint, of course, is Patrick, who famously rid the island nation of snakes and converted pagans to Christianity. The book: James Joyce's Ulysses.
So begins this NPR page about Bloomsday. There are many more links relating to Ulysses and Joyce at my Joyce appreciation blog.
