For over a decade, Joyce’s great work was famously banned throughout the United States. This year’s Bloomsday features authors, actors and devoted Joyceans performing readings from the offensive, subversive, obscene, political, sexual and heretical elements of Ulysses. Featuring a Whirlwind Tour of all 18 chapters of Ulysses, hosted by Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Paul Muldoon, as well as an exploration of the court battles and impassioned efforts to save or condemn Joyce’s contentious book, hosted by author Kevin Birmingham (The Most Dangerous Book: The Battle for James Joyce’s Ulysses).
