  JUNE 2022 ​ JAMES JOYCE'S 1922 NOVEL ULYSSES The feature this month is the centenary - 100 years - of the James Joyce novel 'Ulysses' which Sylvia Beach published in Paris in 1922. The novel is a day in the life of characters Leopold and Molly Bloom - 16 June 1904. This date is actually James Joyce's first date with Nora Barnacle in Dublin - and they eventually married and had two children - Giorgio (1905-1976) and Lucia (1907-1982). Giorgio had a son Stephen James who lived in Paris - he was born in 1932, and died on 23 January 2020. He had no children. ULYSSES 100 CONFERENCE IN TBILISI, GEORGIA The Georgian American University hosted the 'Ulysses 100' international conference. Tamar Zhghenti and I presented a paper called 'Molly Bloom Again in Music' showing that Molly Bloom's soliloquy influenced many composers and singer-songwriters over the past 100 years.  READ MORE BLOOMSDAY CELEBRATIONS READ MORE GEORGIAN TEA READ MORE ICONIC TBILISI MOTHER...
