Celebrate Bloomsday June 16 (as in Leopold)
Named not for the town, but for the hero of James Joyce's Ulysses, Leopold Bloom, and the day of the novel's events, June 16, 1904.
Members of the Bloomsburg Theatre Ensemble will give a reading at the Cloak and Dragon bookstore on Main Street from 10 am to 12:30 pm.
Also in honor of Bloomsday: There will be a scavenger hunt throughout downtown beginning with registration at 9:30 am at the Moose Exchange.
On the poetry front: Troubadour-poet Lester Hirsh will perform at Edith's Kitchen, June 16, from 6 to 8 pm. Edith's Kitchen is located at 119 Pine Street, Catawissa, AKA the Whistle Stop by the River.
An English major in college, my take on Ulysses was: Joyce is a female supremacist because women are the gatekeepers in relationships. Bloom tries to upset that natural balance by denying his wife for 10 years and having a correspondence relationship with a woman, who he refuses to meet in person (to deny her the ability to decide if they meet again). Spoiler alert: After several hundred pages of a fairly miserable day for Leopold, the fate of his marriage is determined by his wife in a half-asleep haze in the very last pages. — EGF.
