I think he means that it's about the people more (who are relateable to anyone) which is obviously true but that doesn't mean the Boston references wouldn't be enjoyable to someone who would get them without the internet.

its more about the people I find. You can find people like that anywhere which makes the book easy to relate to regardless of location

Dublin has lots of nice pubs and very friendly people, though. Would recommend spending a few days there if you're visiting the British Isles.

I read an account of someone who discussed the book with an employee at the drug treatment facility on which Ennet House is based, and the employee had no idea about the book or any thoughts about it. So I'm ahead of at least that Bostonian.

Has anyone reading this ever celebrated Bloomsday in Dublin?
