Drawing on his book, Ulysses: A Reader’s Odyssey (New Island Books, 2022), Dan Mulhall will explain why James Joyce and Ulysses continue to be important more than a century after the publication of Joyce’s master work.
He will do so with his take on (i) the language of the novel, (ii) the complexity of its main characters (the Blooms and Stephen Dedalus) and (iii) the novel’s context, which is early 20th century Ireland.
