Ulysses
They were back for round two! This was our second Ulysses reading group.
Group leaders Megan Abley and Dominic Richard created a welcoming discussion-based environment designed to help everyone deepen their understanding of this penetrating and mysterious novel. This was a supportive community of first-time readers and readers revisiting the text.
The group met every two weeks at Concordia University’s School of Irish Studies. 1455 de Maisonneuve Blvd. West Room 1001.1 Metro Guy Concordia. 7:30pm to 9:30pm
Thank you to everyone who participated!
