Fraiku: Bloomsday

Posted on 2023-06-16 by Bartholomew Barker

Inspired in Dublin
Bought a used Ulysses
Still haven’t read it

(Happy Bloomsday! If you’re interested in my trip to Ireland last year, I tagged all the relevant posts with Dublin 2022.)

    It’s one of those books – folk think they should read it – get a copy – start it – find that Mr Bloom is a tiresome old scrote – and read something more interesting.

    That what I did – about 50 years ago.
