Description
Happy Bloomsday!!
Bloomsday is a commemoration and celebration of James Joyce’s Ulysses, held on the 16th June each year. Ulysses is set on 16th June 1904, commonly believed to mark the day that Joyce first walked out with Nora Barnacle, his life-long partner (and later wife).
Eric makes us all jealous as he tells us about the ultimate Bloomsday in Dublin, Ireland, where he meets the best character of Ulysses. Wendy tells us about her experiences organizing Bloomsday events in Champaign-Urbana, Illinois.
As is typical of Bloomsday celebrations across the world, the team read their favorite passages aloud. Which episodes do they pick?
Mentions:
Nice cups of tea, ahhh.
