Happy Bloomsday
I am very pleased to share a birthday with perhaps the most famous date in literature this side of the Ides of March - June 16th, Bloomsday. Ulysses depicts the events in the life of Leopold Bloom as he wanders through Dublin on June 16th, 1904. Someday I would like to celebrate in Dublin. It would be a treat, though I can skip the kippers.
In the meantime, I will refer readers to this summary of Ulysses (aka, Ulysses for Dummies) should the original text prove too intimidating.
