Celebrating the legacy of Baggotonia’s ‘literary lighthouse’ in the heart of Dublin

[Cormac Kinsella @CormacKinsella]

Well played @chaptersbooks 😉🤣

[Donal Fallon @fallon_donal]

One of my favourite bookshops in Dublin is Stokes in the Arcade. Over the years, I picked up some great weird and wonderful Irish supernatural tales there. These were all @SwanRiverPress! An incredible literary tradition to explore,and with @kathyroseobrien to bring them to life.

[Donal Fallon @fallon_donal]

It was important to me that as many Dublin ears as possible today heard the story of Sylvia Beach.

It was neither popular or profitable to publish a work which had already had its day in court. We owe so much to her for today. Her relationship with author and book was complex.

[Anne C Heffernan @aheffernan_c]

Happy Bloomsday, will you don a straw boater, read a chapter or two from Ulysses or sip a glass of burgundy to celebrate #Ulysses100 Thank you #sylviabeach for publishing this novel by #JamesJoyce #irishwriters @RareBooks_ie
