Why read other books when you can read James Joyce?
Brighton
Joined January 2012
On Bloomsday, I made a pilgrimage to the Victoria Palace Hotel in Paris, which James Joyce described as a 'caravanserai peopled by American loudspeakers' yet he wrote the best parts of Finnegans Wake here

My friend Roy Bayfield has found the original Sylvia Silence stories. Unlike the languid consulting detective imagined by Joyce, she was an action heroine! .

James Joyce’s correspondence finally published online! 2,000 previously unpublished items!. Although there are four published volumes of letters, the Joyce estate previously blocked publication of all these ones. I’m guessing that a lot of the new stuff looks like this though….

The fascinating High and Low John Galliano documentary reminded me that we did a Galliano/Gaultier Christmas card photo in 1998. 'Supermodel waif Lisa Lichen glides down the catwalk in Chrispalliano's bias-cut ‘Fried eggs and bacon', inspired by the full English breakfast.'

The coin of Harthacanute from the Sizewell C hoard on last night’s Digging for Britain reminded me of this coin of Constantius ii - almost 700 years earlier! @theAliceRoberts

RIP the great Bob Grover. Until I saw the Piranhas at the Alhambra in the summer of 1978, I mistakenly thought live music was about big name bands in big venues. But the Piranhas in a tiny seafront pub were more exciting than Led Zeppelin at Earl's Court.

In 1904, James Joyce wrote his third short story, ‘Christmas Eve’ - his first writing after leaving Ireland. He later abandoned it, but the manuscript survives. Here it is, as published in the Garland Press Archive. Merry Christmas!

Loved the new Three Castles Burning on James Clarence Mangan whose spirit still haunts the Liberties in Dublin. He’s buried close to the Gravediggers (my favourite Dublin pub), and Donal talks about ‘the magnetic pull’ of that pub that always draws him in.
NEW EPISODE of Three Castles Burning. From The Nation to Shane MacGowan: Finding James Clarence Mangan (with Bridget Hourican and Warren Farrell). In Glasnevin Cemetery, James Clarence Mangan’s grave lists him as ‘Ireland’s National Poet.’ Today, he is a

My third article for the West Hill Whistler is a celebration of Club Silencio, who will be performing an epic pantomime next month. All three articles are about how individuals, with no public funding, can have a massive positive cultural impact on a city. @stuartwarwick
