"I think of Soltan as the Maureen Dowd of the blogosphere,
except that Maureen Dowd is kind of a wrecking ball of a writer,
and Soltan isn't. For the life of me, I can't figure out her
politics, but she's pretty fabulous, so who gives a damn?"

Master Poldy's Day 2006

'Bloomsday Is Coming

New features will spice the 25th-anniversary Bloomsday on Broadway observance on June 16, commemorating the 102nd anniversary of Leopold Bloom's walk around Dublin in James Joyce's "Ulysses." Beginning at noon at Symphony Space, this year's 12-hour reading will focus more intently on Stephen Dedalus, the autobiographical Joyce character. As a result, major readings from "A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man" will be included, and a significant portion of the marathon will be devoted to work by Samuel Beckett, Joyce's friend, sometime secretary and disciple, born 100 years ago. Among the 80 readers scheduled to participate are Marian Seldes, Frank McCourt, Malachy McCourt, Jonathan Hadary, Stephen Lang, Fritz Weaver, Rochelle Oliver, Keir Dullea and David Margulies.'
