Den 16. juni 1904 vandrer Leopold Bloom rundt i Dublins gader, imens hans kone Molly morer sig på kryds og tværs med andre mænd hjemme i ægtesengen. Leopold Bloom er blevet gjort til en ufrivillig hanrej, og hvad andet kan han gøre end at lade sine skosåler slide af vejen, blive ydmyget mellem husmure og på beværtninger og gemme sig i den ene erindring efter den anden efterhånden som de dukker op i Dublins våde tåge. Leopold Bloom er det 20. århundredes Odysseus, men i modsætning til Homers antikke krigerhelt, er Bloom en moderne antihelt.

Questa famosa raccolta di racconti vuole offrire uno spaccato dell’esperienza dublinese di Joyce. I quindici racconti restano sospesi nella nebbia della città, cogliendo delle istantanee nella vita dei suoi personaggi, offerte così, senza un inizio o una fine nel senso stretto della parola. Dal racconto più lungo, I morti, è stato tratto un film.

Minding Ben invites listeners into the private world of one of the anonymous West Indian babysitters who have peopled the lives of so many young urban families for decades. Grace left Trinidad for New York with hopes for a better life and education. As she struggles to adjust to her new life - and to determine just what shape her American Dream will take - Grace finds work as a nanny for the unconscionable Bruckners, a job that pays meager wages for its demanding and humiliating responsibilities.

Dublineses (en inglés, "Dubliners") el primer libro de Joyce, es una colección de relatos cortos escrita por el escritor irlandés. Los quince relatos son una representación, en ocasiones satírica, de las clases media y baja irlandesas, en el Dublín de principios del siglo XX. Joyce, quien sería más adelante pionero en el uso del monólogo interior como recurso narrativo, utiliza en esta obra un estilo realista para ofrecer una descripción de los personajes y la ciudad.
