[Leica] Bloomsday 2022 in Blackrock, Co. Dublin

[Nathan Wajsman]

I love the veneration for literature in Ireland. I have not read Ulysses, the only Joyce book I have read is Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (and I loved that one), and a more modern work, When All is Said by Anne Griffin, whom I consider a genius.

Cheers,
Nathan

There's a dreadful lurgy levelling many people over here. It fairly flattened everyone in the house, and I'm just recovering after a couple of courses of antibiotics. So a quiet Joycean centenary for me as I just took a quick set of shots, and left.
