Staten Island OutLOUD joins the global annual celebration of James Joyce’s comic epic Ulysses with this community reading & conversation on his delightfully notorious novel.  Set in Dublin on June 16, 1904, the story follows three Dubliners throughout the day, from early morning til dawn the following day. You’ll meet the protagonist, the hapless Leopold Bloom, and you’ll follow his  peregrenations around town as the day progresses.  You’ll meet his voluptous wife Molly Bloom, who hardly stirs from her big brass bed all day.  You’ll encounter the idealistic young writer Stephen Daedalus from sun-up until the wee hours of the next day, as he & Bloom stumble uncertainly along Dublin’s cobblestone streets.

More details TBA.  This event is suggested for adults only.
