When you take my arm, and we begin that awkward stately walk toward your husband-to-be, I will envy him only one thing. He will be able to see you coming toward him. He will behold you in your brightness, confidence and wonder, as you cause everyone to gasp in amazement--just as you did the day you were first presented to the world...
Cancer research--today's media hysteria over newer technologies notwithstanding--has always made strides in a slow and deliberate manner. Oncologists worldwide attend yearly meetings to listen to, digest, scrutinize, modify and summarize a universe of scientific and clinical data.

The book follows the movements of not only Stephen and Bloom but also hundreds of other Dubliners as they walk the streets, meet and talk, then talk some more in restaurants and pubs. All this activity seems random, a record of urban happenstance...
