"It is well known that the pages of Joyce's Ulysses are filled with hundreds of intriguing
and quirky characters. What is less well known is that many of these characters were
based on real people who inhabited Joyce's Dublin and elsewhere. Dubliner and Joycean
scholar Vivien Igoe leaves no stone uncovered in revealing the biographies of scores
of people that had previously been deemed to be fictional, and who had been accorded
little attention as a result. Lavishly illustrated, the book provides a comprehensive
A to Z of these real people with detailed information about where they lived, died
and are buried; worked, intermingled and found inspiration. A number of characters
appear under their own name and were celebrated Dublin personalities in different
fields at the turn of the century, others were ordinary Dubliners. Numerous intriguing
points of human interconnection also emerge, such as neighbours or street acquaintances
of Joyce, or the many friends, enemies and contemporaries of his father."--Provided
