As the central figure to James Joyce's Ulysses, Leopold Bloom is the most celebrated character in modern fiction. From the clues scattered throughout Ulysses, Costello painstakingly reconstructs Bloom's life up to June 16, 1904, and then goes on to create the post-1904 Bloom, the man of whom Joyce says nothing. Interlaced with the momentous events in Ireland during Bloom's time, and sensitively evocative of the lost world of Joyce's Dublin,The Life of Leopold Bloom is a remarkable achievement.

Review
Mr. Costello has done a fine and touching thing, and the rest of his fellow-Joycean fellow writers can but feel gratitude...None of them, I think could have done it better. (Anthony Burgess )
