Celebrate the 100-year anniversary of this amazing tradition when Joyceans around the world open a book, raise a pint, and dress in costume in homage to their fictional heroes. Includes interviews with actors, writers and scholars.

A day in the life of Leopold Bloom, whose odyssey through the streets of turn-of-the century Dublin leads him through trials that parallel those of Ulysses on his epic journey home.

"The author, drawn into the United States Army through ROTC, went through training to fly helicopters in combat over Vietnam. He flew Huey "Slicks" and Huey "Gunships," the former on defense as he flew troops into battle, and the latter on offense. The author relives his experiences flying with special attention given to pilots' day-to-day lives"--Provided by publisher.
