Not bad for what was intended to be no more than the fulfillment of one man's dream. In fact on 6th January 2004, accurate to the very hour, we celebrated the centenary of a fictional meal! 100 guests, 100 years.

@import "images/tradition-with-palette-100.css"; /* */ POX: Genius, Madness, and the Mysteries of Syphilis Home Topics From readers James Joyce Excerpt from Joyce chapter: In James Joyce’s Ulysses, Leopold Bloom warns that the Nighttown area of Dublin was “a regular death-trap for young fellows of his age.” The author of Ulysses had his own experience with this death-trap. In 1904 James Joyce visited Nighttown and came home with a venereal disease. “Let me hear about your dingus,” Joyce’s friend Oliver St. John Gogarty wrote to his friend Jim on 13 February 1904, lecturing him at the same time about the necessity of chastity. A month later: “Congratulations that our holy mother has judged you worthy of the stigmata . . . .If I would venture an opinion—you have got a slight gleet from a recurrence of original sin. But you’ll be all right. When next mounting be careful not to wish eternal blasting as the process is intermittent.” That same day he wrote to Dr. Mick Walsh on behalf of his friend, introducing him thus: “Mr. Joyce is the name of the tissues surrounding the infected part if you will damn him you will delight me. He may have waited too long and gotten gleet.” In May, Gogarty sympathized with the “so long neglected ladies,” continuing: “without faith we cannot be healed. Good luck old man: Give this ‘to Elwood Poxed,’” including with the letter this poem: In the house where whores are dwelling Unless it is wrapped in a glove A little Hunterian swelling Poxes the part that they love.

How to Read Joyce Derek Attridge Seminar Introduction Few writers have acquired a reputation for obscurity to equal that of James Joyce. The short stories of Dubliners and the semi-autobiographical narrative of A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man are as close to the man as many readers will dare to venture. But to stop at these earlier works is to deprive oneself of some of the most clever and funniest writing in the English language. From the revolutionary technique of Ulysses , to what Joyce considered to be his best work, Finnegans Wake , a whole world of language and imagination awaits the uninitiated. In this seminar, drawing on his contribution to The Cambridge Companion to James Joyce , Derek Attridge of the University of York, England, and Rutgers University in the US, offers a pathway to Joyce that attempts to bypass the intimidation. Learning Objectives Examine some of the connections between Joyce's easier and more difficult works. Contextualize Joyce's writings among its many commentaries. Look at some of Joyce's own techniques for constructing his work.
