Le osterie di Dublino

James Joyce is a pivotal writer and key to understanding much of the literature of the twentieth century, from Marcel Proust to Italo Svevo, from Virginia Woolf to Luis Borges and many others. Nevertheless his works are still surrounded by a certain diffidence and wrapped by the myth of obscurity. With Le taverne di Dublino, Andrea Maia demythologizes the halo of hermeticism and stimulates the reading of the Irish author, focusing on the gastronomic element in all his works, from Dubliners to Ulysses and Dedalus.
