Bloomsday Rojak

Hear Joyce read a bit of Finnegans Wake to you. [via UbuWeb Sound, go to "Anna Livia Plurabelle"]

Bloomsday in Brooklyn. [via The Book Bench]

The heirs of Ulysses. [The Daily Beast, via The Millions]

Brian Donnelly on Declan Kiberd’s Ulysses and Us: The Art of Everyday Living. [via dublin review of books]

Sylvia Beach and Margaret Anderson: the two women behind Ulysses. [via The Barnes & Noble Review]

Biography of James Joyce. [via themodernworld, pdf]

And as they say, last but not least, stock footage of Joyce. [via YouTube]

The commentary is hilarious: “The author of Ulysses was a small, thin, unathletic man with very bad eyes. When in the course of their drinking he ran into any sort of belligerence, he would jump behind his powerful friend and shout, Deal with him, Hemingway! Deal with him!”

Hope you had a great Bloomsday!
