Altman the Saltman (w/ Vincent Altman O'Connor)

Blooms & Barnacles - A podcast by Kelly Bryan

Categories:

In our last episode, we discussed people from James Joyce’s life who influenced the creation of Leopold Bloom. However, we left one question unanswered - why were none of these men from Dublin? Didn’t Joyce know any Jewish people in Dublin? Vincent Altman O’Connor’s research into this very question and the biography of his grandfather Albert Altman may very well be the answer to this riddle.
