|summary=This playful, accomplished debut transplants many characters and set pieces from James Joyce's ''Ulysses'' to contemporary Philadelphia. A sophisticated intertextual tribute that still stands alone as a current work of art, this is my favourite book of 2014 so far.

On June 16th, 1904, James Joyce had his first date with his future wife, Nora Barnacle – an occasion he commemorated by choosing it as the one-day setting for his ''magnum opus'', ''Ulysses''; main character Leopold Bloom gives his name to the annual Joyce celebration that takes place around the world on June 16th.
