“The echo is where”, by Peter O’Brien, is part of this artist’s project LOTS OF FUN WITH FINNEGANS WAKE, which commemorates the 80th anniversary of FW.

Apart from the plastic manifestations, O’Brien includes the comments of 43 different people who agreed to write their reactions to his artwork, which enhances its multivoiced and multilayered quality.

For more information on Dubliners 100, please consult this review from The Guardian: https://t.co/38eWO8bG6L

[Joyce Without Borders - 2019 James Joyce Symposium @JoyceWithout]

Dubliners 100 is a collection of short stories inspired by James Joyce’s own Dubliners. Its editor, Thomas Morris, created this project in order to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Joyce’s work back in 2014.

In Dubliners 100 we encounter a variety of characters from the very contemporary Dublin, like a masculine Eveline who falls in love with Hope, a refugee, and Ruth, a scholar who’s being hunted by the echoes of young Lenehan and Corley.

However, as Margalit Fox points out, Strick’s Ulysses was his “most celebrated and most daunting” work.

In 1967, Joseph Strick adapted James Joyce’s Ulysses into a film. This was the first movie adaptation of the novel and received mixed reviews.

Due to the complexity of the narrative devices in this work, its poliphony and its intrinsic streams of consciousness, not many believed it was possible to transpose the text into cinema.
