Today on Terrible Maps, I saw a map of a journey from Toledo to Athens through Milan, Lisbon, Paris, Berlin, Warsaw, Dublin, London, and Moscow. That would be an unusual journey in Europe, but the map was of Ohio, which has towns with all of those names. That reminded me of a passage in W. G. Sebald's "Die Ausgewanderten" (1994) about European town names seen on a drive across New York State. Then, in the Finnegans Wake Reading Group this evening, we came across "twenty four or so cousins germinating in the United States of America" (FW 130.27-28). Those cousins, according to Roland McHugh, are the twenty-four U.S. municipalities called "Dublin". (Andrew Shields, #111words, 4 February 2026)
