Ulysses springs to life. . .,
By Red Nichols "Old & In The Way" (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Bloomsday Postcard (Paperback)
Not only is this a beautifully-produced book, with stunning color reproductions of 1904-vintage postcards, it's a very useful explication of exactly what happens in Joyce's Ulysses.
Ideal for new readers who are flummoxed by this difficult but immensely amusing and rewarding novel, which takes place on June 16, 1904. I've read Ulysses 3 times and will continue to revisit and cherish this irresistible book until I die. A Bloomsday Postcard is a worthwhile addition to any Joycean's bookshelf. . .and don't believe those who tell you Dublin has changed dramatically. It's still possible to visit and enjoy many of the haunts made famous by Stephen Dedalus and Mr. Leopold Bloom. The spirit of the old city lingers on. . .

A fine representation of over two hundred postcards posted in Dublin during 1904,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Bloomsday Postcard (Paperback)
The sending, receiving and collecting of postcards as a major part of life in Edwardian Dublin, where there were six mail deliveries a day and one on Sunday, so it's fitting that Niall Murphy has gathered a fine representation of over two hundred postcards posted in Dublin during 1904 to display the messages and interests of ordinary people of the time. More than just a display of vintage cards, A Bloomsday Postcard pairs postcard images and messages with a re-creation of everyday life; thus earning a place as literature, social commentary, and art history all under one cover.
