Is there some kind of James Joyce anniversary?

12.222.16.171

NPR was talking about Ulysses all day.

June 16 is Bloomsday, a day to celebrate and to get very drunk, if you are in Dublin... (nt) - orejones 01:44:22 06/17/04 (1)

  A day to pass up a pretty girl, get pissed at my country's religion and move to France to become an art-eest.

It's the 100th anniversary of the publication of "Ulysses."

  It's the 100th anniversary of the day on which Ulysses was set. June 16th, 1904. That was the day Joyce met his wife. Awwwww.
- "Ulysses" was first published in 1922. Bloomsday is what happened yesterday (nt) - orejones 01:46:06 06/17/04 (2)
  - I have never read the book...is it worth the time? (nt - dennzio 18:52:40 06/17/04 (1)
