With Rebecca and FRI Jeremy Front. FRI FRI 14:15 Blind Date with Bloomsday b011tynw (Listen) FRI Much quoted but arguably little read, James Joyce's Ulysses FRI is a Modernist classic. Set on June 16th 1904, the author FRI cannily assigned his novel its own annual feast day. Peter FRI White travelled to Dublin on Bloomsday last year to meet the FRI celebrants who enthusiastically enact sections of the book. FRI Among them - resplendent in boater and blazer - is Irish FRI Senator David Norris, a founder of Dublin's Joyce Centre, FRI explaining how an apparently random string of consonants FRI precisely captures the sound of a breaking wave. But there's FRI also the writer and Irish Times journalist John Waters who's FRI courageous enough to confess that he's only ever managed to FRI get as far as page 35 of Ulysses. "It's more important to FRI Irish tourism", he says, "than to readers". FRI What Peter White realises is that whilst the text of Ulysses FRI might be dense and difficult on the page, it is in fact FRI perfectly suited to the ear, as radio - filled with gleeful FRI linguistic tricks, puns and jokes and stream of FRI consciousness bawdiness. FRI Having read Ulysses in Braille, Peter finds out that Joyce FRI was long troubled by eye problems, and that the author's FRI eyesight worsened considerably whilst writing the book when FRI exiled in Zurich. As a blind man himself, Peter is FRI interested to hear how Joyce uses blindness and myopia to FRI great symbolic effect in his work - evoking the whole of FRI Dublin society by emphasising all the senses - sound, touch FRI and smell as much as sight.
