San Francisco has long enjoyed a vital connection to Ireland. So, it’s not surprising that The City is going all out to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the publication of 'Ulysses,' James Joyce’s epic novel.
San Francisco has long enjoyed a vital connection to Ireland. Think of immigrants like Jasper O’Farrell and the thousands of men and women who came during the Gold Rush, lived in places like Irish Hill and helped to give San Francisco its identity.
For the past 100 years, scholars have been unpacking nearly every problematic passage. Their efforts have helped to keep the novel alive. Still, what has given"Ulysses" literary immortality are the characters, including Stephen Dedalus, Joyce’s alter ego, Molly Bloom and especially her husband, Leopold — a Jewish Irishman, modern day Ulysses and an ad salesman for a Dublin newspaper. Joyce calls him “irrepressible.” He’s the glue that holds the sprawling narrative together.
The Consulate General of Ireland, San Francisco Public Library, Mechanics' Institute, Irish Culture Bay Area, the United Irish Cultural Center and the Irish Studies Program at UC Berkeley have organized a citywide, multi-event celebration in honor of the centennial. Most of the Bloomsbay events are free, though an event at the Mechanics’ Institute on Thursday evening, which features music, requires a modest admission. Guests and participants are urged to wear costumes at the Mechanics' Institute and read aloud from"Ulysses.
