The words of Dublin's writers are part of the city's fabric, an invisible impact on the walls and sidewalks around us. Beyond the characteristic steps of James Joyce's heroes, such as Leopold Bloom and Stephen Dedalus, an ordinary residential street overlooking Dublin Bay features the house where Nobel laureate Seamus Heaney lived for many years. A few neighborhoods away is the house where the other Nobel laureate, W. B. Yeats, was born. Just a little further down lies the pier associated with Samuel Beckett, from which we can see the Martello Tower, the setting for the first chapter of "Ulysses." These are just a few of the spots. Step by step, "Dublin: A City of Writers" develops a map for book lovers in this unique city, inviting us to experience what it means to live in a great literary city. The book is richly illustrated and includes custom maps.
