We were blown away by the staged reading of Joyce's Exiles by Elevator Repair Service. The audience--a packed house--was riveted except when it was splitting its sides with laughter.

Wishing everyone the best for today, Dec. 15th, Gloomsday (the chronological inverse of Bloomsday).

This is one week from today!

What?—and likewise—where? (is the point). On a draft of ‘Ithaca’, Joyce left instructions to his French typist that the answer to the chapter’s final question is a ‘point’ (in French, point means both point and full stop). The typist followed his instructions perfectly. 1/11Where?

Uh oh. www.imdb.com/news/ni63956...

Join our remote session Tuesday 10 December, 4pm EST (GMT-5), introducing highlights of the Joyce Collection at U. Buffalo, w/ curators James Maynard and Alison Fraser, and Prof. Damien Keane. joycesociety.com/events

The James Joyce Society was founded in 1947 by Frances Steloff at the Gotham Book Mart in NYC, the only organization devoted to Joyce studies at the time (which is why "New York" has never been part of its name). Find out more and see our upcoming events here: joycesociety.com
