Happy Bloomsday, June 16th!


The events of James Joyce's 

groundbreaking novel 

Ulysses 


 all take place 

on one day: 16 June 1904

which has become 

an annual celebration 

in Dublin, 

and among Joyce fans 

throughout the world.


Oh,

and it's also

my birthday.

Perfect for a writer!

Thanks For Visiting!
