What makes James Joyce's Ulysses so compelling that it continues to attract devoted readers one hundred years after its publication? Joyce to the World explores the global phenomenon known as "Bloomsday" celebrated every year on June 16th, the day the novel takes place.

Celebrate the 100-year anniversary of this amazing tradition when Joyceans around the world open a book, raise a pint, and dress in costume in homage to their fictional heroes. With extensive biographical footage and commentary, viewers follow Joyce from his early life in Dublin to his later years of self-exile with his wife, Nora Barnacle.

Interviews with award-winning actors, writers and scholars including Brian Dennehy, Frank McCourt, Malachy McCourt, Fionnula Flanagan and Senator David Norris, bring audiences inside the artist's mind and explain why so many are drawn to his work. Die-hard fans and those just beginning their exploration of this acclaimed artist will find Joyce to the World a treasured resource for years to come.

dennehy is a genius

It's uncanny that such a wondrous book can throw up all manner of academic bullshitters and conartists in its wake. I wonder what he would have made of it all - anticipated it no doubt

[Bloomsday16June2009]

he looked forward, he said, to a hundred years of academic arguers attempting to puzzle the denser bits out. he felt it would confer immortality upon him and he welcomed it.

That's all. You play it well with a pick for sure and you sing it well too.

But yeah, expect some criticism from musicians when you do something as bold as rocking through a Drake song. There's no need to take offense, I'm sorry for offending you.

It's not really about views or imposing them, it's about appreciation for what he did. You've taken most of the careful thought he put into how he played it and overlooked it. Maybe you weren't aware of it?
