   Happy Bloomsday! Enjoy your grilled mutton kidneys. As always, if you’ve ever bounced off the book then I can’t recommend the 1982 RTÉ full-cast, unabridged performance of the text enough. It’s so good. It brings out the musical and literally multi-vocal character of the novel so beautifully.

     I met Angus for the first time 30 years ago in the hospital room of a mutual friend, Madeleine. M had gone from 'cancer diagnosis' to 'comatose' in the space of three weeks, and Angus and I made the trip from NYC to Philly to be with her in her final hours

     M loved Joyce, so Angus arrived with a dog-eared copy of Ulysses, which I'd never read. We took turns reading to her, one of us far more competent than the other

     I just gave this a listen. It's gorgeous. Thank you for the recc
