One of the most famous Irish authors is James Joyce. Some may have had the doubtful experience of having read into “Ulysses“ or “Finnegan’s Wake“. Joyce is known for having influenced 20th century literature as well is for his ribald humour. Probably he would like the nickname of his statue: “The prick with the stick”. It is located in the North Earl Street, close to O’Connell Street. I have seen a James Joyce statue impersonator on both of my visits in Dublin.

This statue of one of Ireland's most famous writers has actually got 2 left feet! See it for yourself :) It has been there since 1990.

It faces the GPO and the Spire.

In keeping with the good old Dublin tradition of rude rhyming slang for statues, this statue is alternatively known as The Prick With the Stick. Imaginative or wha'? :)

With his staggar and hat writer James Joyce (1882-1941) has a lovely statue on North Earl Street opposite the General Post Office. It is known to the Dublin people as "The Prick with the Stick".

Sculpted by Marjorie Fitsgibbon and cast by the Dublin Arts Foundation.

Unveiled by the RH Lord Mayor of Dublin Alderman Senator Sean Haughey on Bloomsday 1990. Presented to the city by the North Earl Street Business Association and the DCCBA.

One of Dublins most famous sons, James Joyce - the author of Finnigans Wake among others - is immortalised in statue form on Earl Street just off O'Connell Street. Of course, in what seems to be a tradition in Dublin, the statue has been given a "flattering" nickname! In this case its the "Prick with the Stick"!

There is also a bust of James Joyce in St Stephen Green

If your a fan of James Joyce then this is the place to go. The tower was orginally built in 1804. It now houses the Joyce Museum and contains first editions of most of Joyces work. The cost to enter the museum is €2.60. This statue of James Joyce is across the road from the GPO in O'Connell street.

James Joyce was born in Dublin on February 2, 1882 (1882-1941), Irish novelist, noted for his experimental use of language in such works as Ulysses (1922) and Finneganns Wake (1939). Joyce's technical innovations in the art of the novel include an extensive use of interior monologue; he used a complex network of symbolic parallels drawn from the mythology, history, and literature, and created a unique language of invented words, puns, and allusions.

1882—1941, Irish novelist. one of the most influential and significant novelist of the 20th centtury. He wrote the books- Ulysses, Dubliners, and Finnegans wake among many others admit I've never read any of them , but I might someday. He has a momument off of O'Connell Str right next to the Kylemore Cafe. He also has a museum right across the street.

This was another statue that I was lucky to get a good picture of. For some people love to sit on statues and momuments in Dublin.

James Joyce, the great and famous irish Nobel prize writer is present in Dublin with a tour, plaques, museum and statues. I am in accord with it but I think in other important irish writers as Yeats, Shaw or Wilde. Or it is only because he wrote Dubliner?

As mentioned before, the literary history of Dublin is amazing. The most famous writer is probably James Joyce. He was the writer of Ulysses, a tale of the adventures of the salesman Leopold Bloom on June 16, 1904. The book is so famous that every year on the 16th of June, "Bloomsday" is celebrated.

The James Joyce statue can be found in Earl Street, at the corner of O'Connell Street, close to the Millenium Spire. As all main statues in Dublin, this one also got a nickname: " The Prick with the Stick".

Except from the statue, Dublin also has its James Joyce Center, James Joyce Tower, James Joyce House and James Joyce Bridge!
