The idea
James Joyce, born in Dublin to a declining Catholic family and educated by Jesuits, left Ireland with Nora Barnacle in nineteen-oh-four for Trieste, Zurich and Paris, yet wrote only about Dublin. His works run from Dubliners to Finnegans Wake, of nineteen thirty-nine.
In practice
An exile who wrote only Dublin.
Where people slip
Joyce left Ireland in nineteen-oh-four.
