Welcome to Bloomcast, a ten-part plunge into James Joyce's Ulysses presented by Adam Biles, Alice McCrum, and Lex Paulson, live from Shakespeare and Company bookshop in Paris. Join them as they muddle through this radical, sublime, and often misunderstood novel first published one hundred years ago, in 1922.  In this (almost) final episode, recorded live on Bloomsday at the American Library in Paris, Alice, Lex and Adam reflect on their Joycean odyssey and answer such frivolous questions as “If you had to live in one of the episodes for eternity, which would it be?” and “Which line from the book would you like tattooed on your forearm?”We will record one final episode dedicated to listener questions. If you have anything you’d like us to reflect upon, please send your questions to: ulysses@shakespeareandcompany.com A student of environmental policy at Sciences Po-Paris, Alice McCrum runs programming at the American Library in Paris.  In between fits of Joycean nerdery, Dr. Lex Paulson is Executive Director of the School of Collective Intelligence at Université Mohammed VI Polytechnique in Morocco. An adopted Parisian, he teaches at Sciences Po-Paris and writes on the past and future of democracy. Adam Biles is Literary Director at Shakespeare and Company, Paris. He is the author of the novel Feeding Time, available in French as Défense de nourrir les vieux.Photo by Silvia Regonelli Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022.
