Bloomsday

Ah, June 16...the day on which Irish author James Joyce set his epic novel Ulysses. The weighty tome (all 700 or so pages of it) takes place over the course of just one day - June 16, 1904 - as the main character, Leopold Bloom, wanders the streets of Dublin, thinking deep thoughts and meeting all sorts of folk. If you want to know more about Bloomsday, you can visit the James Joyce Centre in Dublin or read more in English Teacher.
