Have you ever wished you’d read Ulysses - that you got past chapter 3?  You’ve probably tried it a few times and given up in frustration. Whil it has a reputation for being difficult, Ulysses rewards persistence and is worth the effort for the lifelong enjoyment it affords. It is above all a very humorous read - and think of how your friends will be impressed!

This is an opportunity to read Ulysses at your leisure under expert guidance and share your difficulties and enjoyment with others. We’ll even provide fashion advice for Bloomsday!  We proudly proclaim that this is an entirely useless course - it will not advance your career nor earn you any money. We do it for enjoyment!

All talks will include vivid illustrations of locations and readings.
