The Ulysses Reading Group is a fun and painless way to read (and finish!) James Joyce’s masterpiece. Led by Melanie Micir, consulting curator of Exiles Among Expats: James Joyce in Paris, this nine-session course incorporates a chapter-by-chapter discussion of the text, with detours into Joyce’s personal life and artistic method. We will also explore Joyce’s engagement with the literary movement of high modernism and some of its key representatives. Special class sessions are dedicated to using objects from the Rosenbach’s Joyce collection, including the Ulysses manuscript, to tell the story of how Joyce wrote the novel.
