New Development/Guest Reader:
Robert Aubry Davis
will read the third episode of Ulysses (Proteus)
This event is open to the public. We will be joining groups all over the world to pay homage to James Joyce and to savor his handiwork. The pleasure of tasting forbidden fruit lingers since Ulysses was once banned in English-speaking countries and a gathering such as ours in Washington DC would have been on the hot side of the law during the decade from 1923 to 1933.
