22nd February 2011: Chapter 4 – “Calypso”
“Mr Leopold Bloom ate with relish the inner organs of beasts and fowls. He liked thick giblet soup, nutty gizzards, a stuffed roast heart, liverslices fried with crustcrumbs, fried hencods' roes. Most of all he liked grilled mutton kidneys which gave to his palate a fine tang of faintly scented urine.”
In these words, the opening ones of chapter 4 of Joyce’s Ulysses, one of the most endearing and intriguing characters of modern literature is introduced. A husband, a father, a son, an ad-salesman, a Jew, Leopold Bloom is many things to many people.
Join Navan Ulysses Reading Group on Tuesday 22nd February 2011 in Navan Library between 6:30 and 8:30 as we meet the Blooms at home in 7 Eccles Street. There is mystery and deception afoot for Bloom as well as the death of a friend, some post from his daughter and preparing his wife’s breakfast in bed. Molly has a lie in, reads in bed, and ponders a promising business engagement later that afternoon ...
Everyone welcome. Suggested contribution €5.
