Frank Delaney's "Bloomsday" podcasts start today!

 

Bestselling author and former BBC broadcaster Frank Delaney (www.frankdelaney.com) is launching “Re:Joyce,” a spirited weekly podcast on James Joyce’s “Ulysses.” Each segment will feature Delaney taking a short passage from “Ulysses” and exploring its multitude of references with insight, eloquence, and passion—as well as a good dose of humor. Accessible, yet not in any way dumbed-down, the Re:Joyce podcasts will bring listeners historical and biographical information, lively interpretation, and many amusing anecdotes—all illuminated by Delaney’s love for and robust knowledge of James Joyce and “Ulysses.” The introduction podcast is live on www.frankdelaney.com today. Re:Joyce launchwa today, on “Bloomsday,” (June 16) the day on which the entirety of “Ulysses” takes place. The 3-5 minute podcasts will be available for download at www.frankdelaney.com.

Frank Delaney says:  ReJOYCE! To mark Bloomsday, in other words, to commemorate James Joyce's mighty novel, Ulysses, we're launching a podcast. Every week, here on the website, you'll find a five-minute mini-essay from me designed to take you through the novel that's on every list of the greatest books ever written. And as Ulysses runs to some 375,000 words, and I mean to go through it sentence by sentence if I have to, in order to convey the full brilliance of this novel - and the enjoyment to be had from it - I'll be podcasting for some time to come! It's such an absorbing book, it's got diamond mines of references, it's so compassionate, so tender, so moving, so funny - and most of us never know that, because most of us have long been daunted by it. No need to be afraid any more - that is, if you make a habit of listening to these podcasts.
