The Bloomsday Lecture this year is entitled “Discovering James Joyce’s Dublin by Reading and Running” and will be delivered by Barry Sheehan.
Barry has been researching James Joyce and Dublin since 2014 for his running blog dedicated to the works of James Joyce www.jj21k.com. In the process, he has turned the locations of Joyce’s four major works into half marathons. Barry writes articles inspired by James Joyce for the website that he turns into conference papers and presentations.
