Stephen Rea as Leopold Bloom, from the film “Bloom,” directed by Sean Walsh (2003)

BLOOMSDAY!

Beloved Bibliophiles!

On Thursday, June 16th, at 7 p.m. (PDT) we will celebrate together on Zoom the day in 1904 when Leopold Bloom and Stephen Dedalus wandered the streets of Dublin, while Molly Bloom entertained a visitor at home.

Everyone is welcome to bring favorite passages to read from James Joyce’s novel Ulysses. We will talk about James Joyce, and about the novel and our experience of it. Here’s the link (for this event only):

This will be fun for those who have read Ulysses and for those who haven’t.

(For those who want to do a little homework in preparation for Thursday’s festivities, you might take a look at Mythic Worlds, Modern Words by Joseph Campbell, Stuart Gilbert’s classic study James Joyce’s Ulysses, or watch the 2003 film “Bloom,” with Stephen Rea in the role of Leopold Bloom.)

I hope to see you there!

peace, love & happiness

Johnny
