I don’t suppose you’ve seen this? I’m frankly a little surprised that Bloomsday is being reported on in the mainstream media. Either I’ve severely underestimated them or it’s a slow news day. Could I be that much out of step?
There’s actually always a little bit of buzz about it – especially in the last couple of years. Last year, Google even had a special design that day, with a Joyce graphic on it to celebrate. Last year was the 100th anniversary of the day – so that had something to do with it.
But I always see one or two stories that make it to the surface on June 16.
