Happy Bloomsday!
June 16 is a familiar date to James Joyce fans. It is on this day in 1904 that Joyce sets all of the activity in his novel Ulysses, his modern retelling of the myth of Odysseus. The day is celebrated every year by readers around the world, particularly in Dublin, where a yearly festival is held.
Ulysses continues to resonate with readers, and has even caught up with the digital age. You can download free podcasts of author Frank Delaney's readings from Ulysses. You can also read this free online graphic novelization of Ulysses from Throwaway Horse.
