Joyce was so unfashionable in ireland for so long. He's often seen as the one who wrote the dirty book. Very little is done about, you know, commemorating em unless it's kind of smaller, private events. Like 19 54, sen sees the first bloomsday, which is the celebration of the day the joy sets ulysses. And they just went around dublin kind of semi followed the root of the novel and also stopped in most dublin os throughout the day. It's a half literary pilgrimage, half something else entirely.
In this episode, we chat with Loic Wright on Irish novelist, short story writer, poet, and literary critic James Joyce, author of Ulysses and Finnegans Wake.
Loic is a PhD candidate in 20th century Irish fiction and culture and an Irish Research Council Scholar, formerly of the James Joyce Center.
