James Joyce House of the Dead

TIME : 2016/2/18 22:15:22

The house where the young Joyce spent Christmases with his aunts is also the setting of 'The Dead', the last and arguably most famous of his stories in Dubliners (and the subject of John Huston's fabulous 1987 film starring Donal McCann). It's only open by appointment, but walking through the partially restored rooms is quite a treat, even if there aren't many actual artefacts on show.
