Joyce is best known for Ulysses (1922), a landmark work in which the episodes of Homer's Odyssey are paralleled in an array of contrasting literary styles, perhaps most prominent among these the stream of consciousness technique he utilised. Other well-known works are the short-story collection Dubliners (1914), and the novels A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (1916) and Finnegans Wake (1939). His other writings include three books of poetry, a play, occasional journalism, and his published letters. a fine Statue of James Joyce on North Earl Street, Dublin there are many other sites around Dublin celebrating Joyce's life and contribution...

I love the increasing number of bronze statues I am seeing around the world. Most, make great photo ops. This sculpture depicts James Joyce as the dapper, stylish, witty and fun gentleman he was.

I love the bronze statues like this one & Molly Malone across the river, far more than the more modernistic ones. You get a feeling of the man when you look at this statue. He came from a time when men had class and style!

I love James Joyce, I love this statue, and I start there my Joyce Tour. Always I find this. And when they go they leave bottles and other garbage. It is not possible that the City Council does not prohibit sitting on monuments or statues.

Is it me, or is he looking up at the Dublin Spire? Maybe he’s wondering where Nelson’s Pillar went to. Joyce went to Switzerland and never set foot in Ireland again. His books were banned here, but now there are museums, statues, murals and tours based on him and his books. If only creative people were so cherished and appreciated WHILE THEY ARE STILL ALIVE!! As statues go, I’m happy that a writer is commemorated, as opposed to more generals and politicians. I like that he’s down on the street with you, not lording it over you from on high.

I am currently walking with a walking stick and felt right at home alongside James Joyce with his walking stick. He is a great writer and the statue is a real testament to his work and his talent.

This statue just off O'Connell Street, stands in tribute to the Irish novelist James Joyce.
The statues is made of bronze and is slightly larger than life featuring James Joyce standing cross-legged, leaning on a walking stick and with his left hand in his pocket. The texture of the statue is not smooth, but does make it stand out more than a smooth finish would. Nice statue to get a selfie with.

The James Joyce Statue in Dublin is a tribute to the man. The statue seems to capture his craggy personality.

Located just off of O'Connell street, down and opposite the GPO this is a life sized statue of the famous Author.
Certainly worth a photo stop when in the area

(About Homers' The Odyssey) then it's a thrill to run across this statue of the Great James Joyce. Probably even more of a thrill for a super literate fan. Impress your friends by revealing that Mr. Joyce's middle name is "Augustine Aloysius".
