"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?"

Fine. Those Who Say
It's Getting Out of
Hand May Have a Point.

But UD's still a mad lover of Bloomsday.



BLOOMSDAY GROWS INTO
WEEK-LONG CELEBRATION

James Joyce's day-long journey through the streets of Dublin has bloomed into a week-long series of cultural events.

Celebrations marking Bloomsday on June 16 will run for a week at the James Joyce Centre in Dublin's North Great George's Street.

A number of films will be shown in tribute to his 732-page masterpiece, Ulysses, alongside the historic breakfast, talks by Joyce scholars and guided walking tours of the capital.

Irish film-maker Ian Graham's 'Joyce: The Journey Home' and 'James Joyce: The Trials of Ulysses' will be screened.

During the week of events from June 10-17, a special outdoor screening will also take place of John Huston's 'The Dead'. A new musical 'Himself and Nora', headed for London's West End, and Broadway will be shown at the James Joyce Centre on Bloomsday evening. [Er, this isn't new. It has appeared here, to bad reviews.]
