Bloomsday - 100 year anniversary of Ulysses
Philadelphia Inquirer | 06/13/2004 | Hero of Joyce's gem gets his 100-year due: "2008 Delancey Place"
Bloomsday is celebrated every June 16th. This is the anniversary of the events in James Joyce's Ulysses. The novel details Leopold Bloom's walk about Dublin, Ireland on June 16, 1904 from 8AM until 2AM the following morning.
Dublin and Philadelphia have two of the original copies of Ulysses and there are public readings of Ulysses in each city on Bloomsday. This year is special because its the 100th anniversary.
I have been trying to make it to a Bloomsday event since 1994. I didn't do it when we lived in Ireland (shame on me). This year, I'm working in Philadelphia and will make a special effort to get to at least part of the reading.
