Reviews / Votes
"This book changes our entire view of Joyce's Trieste. It establishes the city as a vibrant microcosm of three cultures. Joyce was born in Dublin, but as John McCourt shows, he grew up in Trieste."-Colm ToIbIn"John McCourt's book is a must for all Joyce scholars, but it will interest and entertain many common readers as well. The portrait of Joyce himself is engaging."-Times Literary Supplement
"Superbly researched, accessibly written, thoroughly documented, and impressively presented, The Years of Bloom is a major work of outstanding scholarship and a welcome, enduring, seminal contribution which will be part of every college and university reading list and reference collections on the life and writings of James Joyce."-Midwest Book Review
"The Years of Bloom is an engaging, readable, and meticulous study. . . . McCourt has added much to our sum of knowledge about Joyce."-Anne Fogarty, The Irish Times
