+INFO: One hundred years ago, on 2nd February, 1922, James Joyce’s Ulysses was first published by Sylvia Beach in a small bookshop in Paris. The book, which consumed 7 years of Joyce’s life, years in which his family’s circumstances were very difficult, would have a profound impact on the literature and culture of the century to follow. No twentieth-century novel has rivaled Ulysses in its reach.
The Irish-Basque Association LagunCara will screen the film, and invite discussion to launch our preparations for Bloomsday 2024 in June.
Admission is free and all are welcome, however note capacity is limited.
