Number 7, St. Peter's Road was perhaps the most important Dublin address for James Joyce. I was going down St. Peter's Road—in Joyce's time it was called St. Peter's Terrace—with my first cousin Brendan Bartley a few years ago when he pointed out the plaque on #7 which read: 'The Family Home of James Joyce, author of Ulysses, 1902-1904.' The historical moment elicited a laugh from me: 'If old man Joyce had paid the rent more, there would be a lot fewer plaques around Dublin,' I observed and was reminded of how Joyce knew the neighborhoods of Phibsboro, Cabra, and Glasnevin so well.
