Comment from John Reality
Though first and foremost a Dubliner, the novelist James Joyce lived and died in Zürich and both adopted and was adopted by the city. For a portrait of the artist as an older man, as it were, Switzerland's largest city is the place to go.
Aficionados of Finnegan's Wake (a determined lot, these, as the book is one of densest and most impenetrable in all modern fiction) will be happy to find that a vibrant tradition of Joycean scholarship and memorabilia is alive and well in Zürich.
