Thanks!

A "ULYSSES" READ-A-LONG

JOIN Stephen Dedalus, an introspective literary artist, and Mr Leopold Bloom, an easygoing advertising agent, in their periphrastic peregrinations around the city of Dublin on 16 June 1904 in Joyce's Modernist masterpiece, "Ulysses"! Ulysses was first published on 2 February 1922 (James Joyce's fortieth birthday) by Shakespeare and Company in Paris, France.

Our Read-a-Long of Joyce's most famous classic shall begin on 1 February 2025 with a discursive introduction and discussion surrounding the author himself: his life and work; hosted by our moderators, u/Bergwandern_Brando and u/madamefurina.
