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.

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...

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
