A Bloomsday Post

No law here. Just a post to honour the fact that it’s Bloomsday, the anniversary of the day on which Leopold Bloom perambulated in Dublin. And I’m glad to say that it gets easier and easier to come to grips with Joyce’s Ulysses, something of a difficult beast for more than a few. So whether or not you’ve read the great novel, you might like to hear Irishman Frank Delaney (whom NPR has called “the most eloquent man in the world”) devote five minutes to each chapter of the first book. He’s just now finishing his first year of podcasts on Ulysses, so you’ve got 52 +1 delicious audio morsels waiting to beguile you as you wander your own city, perhaps — likely on your way to or from work.

You’ll find them on his website, and on iTunes.
