A JOYCE JOURNEY

Frank Delany has started something new. He going to read James Joyce's Ulysses here on his website. He is a well-known author, broadcaster, judge of literary prizes and so on. Like so many Irish I know, he clearly loves words!

In the past he has had (among many other things) his own one-man show on Joyce in London called ReJoyce.


So now he has started this marathon exercise: once a week for about 15 minutes he presents Ulysses. It is like an English Lit. class, i.e. while he reads - from the very beginning - he highlights aspects of the work hence giving insight into the way Joyce uses words. Great stuff! I love it!

It has only just started and looks like it could go on for years! That's OK by me ... as always, the joy is in the journey!
