Take an autumn walking tour through a slice of literary history. New York has a special place in James Joyce’s development as a writer: A Portrait of the Artist was first published and Ulysses was first serialized here. His play Exiles had its English language premiere here. This walking tour will take in related sites in the West Village, including the various homes of The Little Review; the courthouse where editors Margaret Anderson and Jane Heap were tried for obscenity; and addresses associated with writers and artists such as Djuna Barnes, Samuel Beckett, Stuart Davis and Marcel Duchamp.

Glenn Johnston is treasurer of the James Joyce Society and a patron of the Museum of Literature Ireland (MoLI). He has a law degree from Trinity College Dublin.
