Dr. Julie Anne Stevens, a tenured lecturer of English Literature in Dublin City University, would like to organize a Ulysses Book Club. The aim of this group is to read James Joyce’s Ulysses in the course of about two months, from St. Patrick’s Day to Bloomsday.
It will concentrate on two chapters each week (except for week one when people arrive having read chapter one), and our focus will be on the novel. The group will be moderated by Dr. Julie Anne Stevens, who will strive to keep focus on the novel and to raise questions about the chapters. However, the hope is that everyone will talk about the chapters that are to be read for that particular week.
Fridays, 7-8 pm, Venue to be Decided
