accomplishedEach year in Philadelphia at the Rosenbach museum where the manuscript of Ulysses exists, a group of celebrities is assembled and they read passages from the book for about ten hours. This year
trillian_stars was one of those celebrities.

It was a star studded literary event -- Samuel R. Delany, the closest thing Philly has to a living James Joyce was there, and behind him Novelist Michael Swanwick and publisher Marianne Porter. I had been kicking around the idea of reading Ulysses for years but this made me realized that if I'm going to read an impossible novel, I should read Dhalgren instead.

Michael Swanwick read right after Trillian.

Trillian got a little overly familiar with Joyce.

I had a swell time at Bloomsday, though by the time I actually stopped listening to the reading and decided to go into the museum and see the manuscript of Dracula, it had closed. So ... back another day.
