Literary Dublin: South

Walk the streets that made Oscar Wilde, James Joyce, Samuel Beckett, Bram Stoker and Patrick Kavanagh. Stand in the pub where Joyce sent Leopold Bloom for lunch, find the house where Dracula's creator lived, learn how Beckett ended up in a cricket almanac, and sit with Kavanagh on his canal bench. Twelve short stories, one easy hour, and you'll never see Dublin's south side the same way again.
