Next month, the Georgetown neighborhood library will celebrate the 110th anniversary of the fictional events of James Joyce’s legendary Ulysses with a marathon reading of the epic work, culminating on Bloomsday itself, June 16th.
The book is notoriously difficult and confusing. However, some argue that it becomes more comprehensible when read aloud. You can come and judge for yourself. The reading will begin June 9th. The reading will continue each day, except Thursday, following this schedule:
Monday, June 9, 2014, 6:00 PM – 9:00 PM
Tuesday, June 10, 2014, 6:00 PM – 9:00 PM
Wednesday, June 11, 2014, 6:00 PM – 9:00 PM
Thursday, June 12, 2014, NO READING
Friday, June 13, 2014, 10:00 AM – 5:00 PM
Saturday, June 14, 2014, 10 AM – 5:00 PM
Sunday, June 15, 2014, 1:00 PM – 5:00 PM
Monday, June 16, 2014, 10:00 AM – 9:00 PM
That last day will be like the cardiac hill of the race: eleven straight hours.
You’ll still probably walk away confused, but think how smart you’ll feel just attending in the first place!
