Bloomsday

Unread post

Bloomsday is a commemoration observed annually on 16 June in Dublin and elsewhere to celebrate the life of Irish writer James Joyce and relive the events in his novel Ulysses, all of which took place on the same day in Dublin in 1904. The name derives from Leopold Bloom, the protagonist of Ulysses. Thursday, 16 June 1904 was the date of Joyce's first outing with his wife-to-be, Nora Barnacle, when they walked to the Dublin urban village of Ringsend.

Well phooey on me for not living in Ireland.

And not being able to drink beer or eat anything with flour.

And being horribly agoraphobic.

And not having read Ulysses.



It sounds like fun, anyway. Any festive commemoration of art or literature is exciting in my book. :)
