Readings from Ulysses
11:00 am
Kevin Wright, Bloomsday Montreal’s president, has chosen favourite passages to be read aloud by local actors and Joyce enthusiasts.
A special treat will pair Kathleen Fee as Molly, and Julian Casey as Leopold juxtaposing sections of the narrative where the two characters refer to the same incident.
There’ll be a 45 minute lunch break and tea, coffee, and refreshments afterwards.
