Today I'm sure you, like me, are celebrating "Bloomsday," honoring James Joyce and the protagonist of his novel Ulysses, Leopold Bloom. June 16, 1904 was the day celebrated in the novel. Thousands of people from Dublin, Ireland to Dublin, Ohio honor the events of that day. In Dublin, Ireland, people will move from place to place in the great city described in the novel.
Ulysses is a difficult book, but sections of it sing out to all, not just Joyce specialists. Yes, you will love the ending of the novel. Yes, in the end, it is lyrical and romantic, and beautiful, Yes.
Lift a glass to love and life! Slainte!
