I sat myself down in a comfy armchair to read Ulysses and I look up to see this man staring at me. Next thing I know I’m ordering myself a copy of Finnegans Wake. I suppose that’s what I get when I try to read Joyce in the James Joyce library at the Sylvia Beach Hotel.

Happy Bloomsday, to those that celebrate.

@chrissie and I like to 'visualize' the characters from Finnegans Wake. Here is the man himself looking particularly like 'Jaunty Jaun' with his curly hair. This photo by Berenice Abbot first appeared in transition 13 accompanying the latest installment from Work in Progress, one of the Shaun chapters from Book III in Finnegans Wake.
