MoLI – Museum of Literature Ireland

This guide to MoLI in Dublin follows a shy student named James Joyce through this college and the degree he earned here in 1902 before leaving the city he never stopped writing about. It turns to a birthday twenty years later, in 1922, when the very first printed copy of Ulysses reached him from Paris, and the fight he'd waged over the exact color of its cover. It also traces the patron whose money had kept him fed while he wrote the novel in the first place.
