Many Vietnamese and foreign literature critics and lovers gathered at the opening ceremony of an exhibition in Hanoi on September 9 to honour the renowned Irish writer, James Joyce (1882-1941).

With the title “International Joyce”, twenty-one posters were put up to tell stories about one of the world’s greatest writers of the 20th century, whose works include “Ulysses” (1922), “Dubliners” (1914), “A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man” (1916) and “Finnegans Wake” (1939). These books influenced other authors such as Salman Rushdie, Thomas Pynchon, Margaret Attwood and Mario Vargas Llosa.
