#305375 — Bloomsday (16 June)

"This day celebrates the life and writing of Irish author James Joyce 
(1882-1941), chiefly be retracing the route through Dublin taken by 
Leonard* Bloom, the central character in _Ulysses_....the action of the 
novel takes place entirely on a single day: 16 June 1904, which was also 
the day Joyce first went out with Nora Barnacle, whom he later married."

*That's _Leopold_ Bloom! Two gaffes in two days! This book needed an editor.

Bloomsday is a real thing. A few years ago I went to a Bloomsday 
celebration at a local "Irish pub" called the Dogs Bollix. Some 
professional readings, some amateur singings, and lots of drinkings. 
Good fun.

When I briefly visited Pula, Croatia (at the southern tip of Istria) in 
2009, I was surprised to see a life-size image* of JJ, seated at a table 
outside a local cafe. I knew he had lived in Trieste (which is not far 
away); but before that, for a few months 1904-5, he had a job in Pula 
(then called Pola), teaching English at the Berlitz School, mainly to 
Austro-Hungarian naval officers.

*I wanted to say "statue", but is it a statue if it's sitting? Sitting 
on a horse, OK, but sitting at a table, drinking coffee?

"While he was in Pola he organised the local printing of his broadsheet 
The Holy Office, which satirised both William Butler Yeats and George 
William Russell,"

                        Nora went down on Jim... made him really happy.

Could well be. We were only in Trieste for a couple of hours, and 
weren't looking for a pub or for Joyceana. I seem to remember a bookshop 
named after him right at the railway station, but it doesn't seem to be 
there any more.

I thought it was a hand job.

Trieste (or Trst, as the Slovenes call it) was, in 1964, the site of my 
shortest ever wait for a lift when hitchhiking. The first car that 
arrived stopped and picked me up. I was on my way from Ljubljana to 
Milan. I didn't discuss Joyce with the driver.

It gets lots of attention in the Irish Times (among other local media),
probably disproportionate to the level of activity in Dublin. But yes, a real
thing.

My generation did a lot of TEFL, less so Joyce’s. Great option if you studied
something not particularly marketable beziehungsweise graduated with a degree
in CS in the Dot Com Bust.

I haven't read JJ nor am planning to any soon, but a few years ago I 
bought the "Ruta Joyce" of Zapico and enjoyed it a lot, learning a few 
things at the same time. It's even a nicer than his Joyce bio*graphic* 
novel itself, Dublinés (more polished in drawing and type-setting, but 
less exhilarating). Both recommendable anyway.
