In this special bonus episode Lex Paulson speaks with Daniel Mulhall, author of Ulysses: A Reader’s Odyssey and Ireland’s ambassador to the USA.

Buy Ulysses: A Reader’s Odyssey here: https://shakespeareandcompany.com/I/9781848408296/ulysses-a-readers-odyssey

*

Marking the centenary of Ireland’s – and possibly the world’s – most famous novel, this joyful introductory guide opens up Ulysses to a whole new readership, offering insight into the literary, historical and cultural elements at play in James Joyce’s masterwork.

Both eloquent and erudite, this book is an initiation into the wonders of Joyce’s writing and of the world that inspired it, written by Daniel Mulhall, Ireland’s ambassador to the United States and an advocate for Irish literature around the world.

One hundred years on from that novel’s first publication, Ulysses: A Reader’s Odyssey takes us on a journey through one of the twentieth century’s greatest works of fiction. Exploring the eighteen chapters of the novel and using the famous structuring principle of Homer’s Odyssey as our guide, Daniel Mulhall releases Ulysses from its reputation of impenetrability, and shows us the pleasure it can offer us as readers.

*

Daniel Mulhall was born in Waterford. He has spent more than 40 years in Ireland’s diplomatic service, and is currently Ireland’s ambassador in the United States. He has written and lectured around the world on the subject of Irish literature, and in particular the work of James Joyce, and has worked tirelessly throughout his career to further the impact and reach of Irish writing around the world. 

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.

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 eight, Adam helps us understand the strained, clumsy style of Eumaeus and investigates Bloom’s double-entry accounting; Alice alerts us to the one-eyedness of narrative and makes the case for the democratisation of art; while Lex praises the mood of Eumeaus and the innovation of universal basic income. In this episode, the fearless trio follow money, water and manufactured meat tins, as well as Stephen and Bloom, who finally spend a little time together.        

Please share your thoughts on the book and anything you’d like to hear us discuss: [email protected]. 

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.
