Friends of Shakespeare and Company read Ulysses by James Joyce

Bloomcast | Episode 4 | Scylla & Charybdis and Wandering Rocks


Listen Later

Welcome to Bloomcast, a ten-part plunge into James Joyce's Ulysses presented by Adam Biles, Alice McCrum, and Lex Paulson, live from Shakespeare and Company bookshop in Paris. Join them as they muddle through this radical, sublime, and often misunderstood novel first published one hundred years ago, in 1922. 

 

In episode four they begin by responding to a listener’s request to cast the Ulysses movie, then head to the Irish National Library to dissect Stephen’s Hamlet lecture and discuss whether you can separate the art from the artist, before returning to the streets of early-20th-century Dublin to question why Joyce might have considered it a “hostile environment”.

A student of environmental policy at Sciences Po-Paris, Alice McCrum runs programming at the American Library in Paris. 

 

In between fits of Joycean nerdery, Dr. Lex Paulson is Executive Director of the School of Collective Intelligence at Université Mohammed VI Polytechnique in Morocco. An adopted Parisian, he teaches at Sciences Po-Paris and writes on the past and future of democracy.

 

Adam Biles is Literary Director at Shakespeare and Company, Paris. He is the author of the novel Feeding Time, available in French as Défense de nourrir les vieux.
