Bloomsday

Bloomsday in Melbourne celebrates James Joyce annually on 16 June - his radicalism, subversive wit, emancipatory politics, and his vernacular poetry.

@johnstonglenn Very revealing. Clearly Sam does not view Lucia as mad or infantilise her in any way. He’s undoubtedly referring to Pinter’s very successful revival of Exiles in London in the 70s.

Samuel Beckett wrote to Lucia Joyce OTD in 1971

His soul swooned slowly as he heard the snow falling faintly through the universe and faintly falling, like the descent of their last end, upon all the living and the dead." - James Joyce ( The Dead /Dubliners ) https://t.co/ZTwaEafshu

Don't be afraid to get cold, honey
It's warm, there's neither wind nor clouds,
I will hold you close to my heart, which is as hot as flame
I will hold you close to my heart, which is as hot as flame.

One night only, Love's Old Sweet Songs, an Irish variety concert from the James Joyce songbook. You don't need to know anything about Joyce to enjoy this hilarious and highly entertaining evening!

@annabelcrabb Don't know if you were a Brownie, or Guide, but if you were, you'd instantly note the PM's yellow tie and recall that a yellow flag is the international marine signal for contagion on board... Hmmm, fun with flags. #notmyvirus

Three prominent Romanian artists and writers were in exile with Joyce: Constantin Brâncuși, Peter Neagoe and Tristan Tzara. None are buried in their homeland and as far as I know nobody on the General Council of Bucharest is seeking to repatriate them.
