Fionnula Flanagan to take part in marathon reading of James Joyce’s Ulysses for Bloomsday

Undoubtedly Molly Bloom's soliloquy is an accurate revelation of her innermost thoughts and desires. Having said that, I'm also reminded of George B. Shaw's comment on Joyce's "Ulysses": "unadultared filth". My favorite Joycean piece is his account of the deep snowfall in Ireland, especially when he mention's how it covered the grave of Michael Furey in a Westtern cemetery. Joyce's "The Dead" becomes very much alive in the film of that title, especially the great song "The Lark of Aughrim". By no means do I consider myself a fan of Joyce, but I can well understand why Joyceanism becomes self-perpertuating.
