Happy Bloomsday!

Even though Leo is half-Jewish, it’s from his father, so hopefully the poalers can enjoy this picture of Dublin from over a century ago. Joyce said that if Dublin one day disappeared from the earth, it could be reconstructed out of his book. But let’s not let it get that far, eh, Irish patriots of my heart?!

I read Ulysses twice 40 years ago. It's a fascinating book, but it definitely needs a lot of other sources to understand it. Joseph Campbell is helpful, and Stuart Gilbert's "James Joyce's Ulysses: A Study" gives a special insight.

But Bloom is still a jew, and his daughter Millie is 1/4 jew. There's no getting around that.
