James Joyce Birthday Celebration
At this "birthday celebration" for James Joyce, participants will read the beginning of Ulysses. The purposes are threefold:
- To help people with Ulysses-reading New Years resolutions to get started;
- To allow revisiting and re-experiencing by people with Joyce affinity;
- To share the enjoyment of life and literature.
