Author James Joyce is something of a national treasure in Ireland and each June 16th, the nation celebrates the events depicted in his greatest work, “Ulysses.” The book follows Leopold Bloom and his wife, Nora on June 16, 1901 and the holiday, aptly named “Bloomsday,” recreates these scenes with pub crawls, street parties, dinners, and other events throughout Ireland and abroad.
