A line from “How to Disappear Completely” reads: “I float down the Liffey.” The River Liffey (live image) runs eastward through Dublin, Ireland. It follows a tortuously curved 50-mile course, save for the portion in Dublin which is heavily canalized and bordered with numerous quays.

Floating down the Liffey is also featured prominently in Joyce’s “Finnegan’s Wake.” Joyce is also fond of the rather obscure word, “gloaming,” itself a part of the title of a song on HTTF.
