The Irish celebrated Bloomsday on June 16 honouring James Joyce’s unique publication Ulysses.
It’s a rare day dedicated to a work of art, now evolving into a week’s festivities, although it generally doesn’t pull in the masses – yet. Ireland is working on that. It lures in an audience familiar with Joyce’s not-easy-to-read work, but is not relaxation reading for the average Dubliner like myself, around whose city it’s based.
