:lol: :lol: Well, I read that entry in Wikipedia, or whatever. I'm afraid that will have to do. I do hope you have your Edwardian costume on. We'd love to see a photo, I'm sure.

Yes, it does :) In my case, it helps if you finish it.

There's an interview with James Joyce in the current issue of Granta (a great magazine, and the only one I subscribe to, because it comes out only four times a year. I can actually read an entire issue before the next one comes out).

The interview was conducted in 1930 by the Czech writer Adolph Hoffmeister; the interview was conducted in French and this is the first full English translation. Joyce talks about Ulysses, Finnegan's Wake, time, the near-impossibility of translating his works, the connections between his novels, and more.

I'm proud to share a birthday with the great Stan Laurel, but Bloomsday just doesn't have a good ring to it. :D

— Is that he? Haines asked twisting around in his seat.
— Yes, Mulligan said. That's John Howard, his brother, our city marshall.

Now there I go mixing up Ulysses with politics again. Very clever that Joyce chappie to anticipate Australian conditions all those years ago.

Happy Bloomsday. And an especially happy day to all you baby bloomers.
