Bloomsday At Bridge

In Ulysses, Leopold Bloom wandered around Dublin on 16 June. Readers across the world felt they knew the city as a living and breathing place.

Readings from Ulysses in English, isiZulu, French, German and Dutch.

Discussion on writing the city with Ivan Vladislavić, Terry-Ann Adams. Anthony Akerman talks about reading Ulysses in South Africa.
