PJ doing what he does so well, telling stories and bringing new people in.

Guess who’s back! PJ just after arriving home (newly tanned) from a week’s holiday in Barcelona. “Delighted to be back.”

Lovers of Joyce’s works will love this. Darina and Sinead have performed every year at Sweny’s ‘The Dead Dinner’ and their show is highly evocative of Joyce’s Dublin and of course very entertaining. They are playing in Bewley’s Cafe Th...

Heads down, immersed in the Circe chapter of Ulysses (it’s a long one) it’s also a surreal episode set in ‘Monto’ or Nighttown in Bella Cohen’s brothel (sensitive individuals may stop reading now) in which Leopold Bloom changes sex as do...

Thursday in Sweny’s. Photos from the evening reading of Ulysses. We read part of Circe, the Nighttown chapter set in Monto. The extra pic is PJ with a group of Lithuanian poets, as you do.

The Monto, or Nighttown in Ulysses, or Circe. We’ll begin the chapter this evening at 7, and continue next week. In it, Leopold Bloom ends up in a brothel with Stephen Dedalus and has a surreal experience, in which the soap he bought in Sweny’...
