Bloomsday Lecture by Prof. Sam Slote (TCD)
14 June 2023, 7:30pm
Ulysses may be set in Dublin but it was written in exile: in Trieste, Zurich, and Paris – as is reflected in its epigraph. Trieste is where Joyce conceived and began writing Ulysses and was, as he called it, his “second country.” Zurich is where most of it was written. And Paris is where he finished and published it.
In this talk, Professor Sam Slote (Trinity College Dublin) will look at the traces these cities leave in the text of Ulysses and Finnegans Wake to show how Joyce’s Dublin is refracted through his other cities.
