Are you in Portland, or will you be on Bloomsday, June 16? Do you want to squeeze in a read of Ulysses in the next month? Because I'll be leading a discussion at Two Rivers Books in the St Johns neighborhood! Come point out some weird thing in this novel that I certainly haven't noticed before -- there are plenty.
"And, I wonder when we are ever gonna change, change
Living under the fear, 'til nothing else remains
We don't need another hero
We don't need to know the way home
All we want is life beyond Thunderdome
Looking for something, we can rely on
There's gotta be something better out there
Ooh, love and compassion
Their day is coming (coming) #FWakeBloomsDay #BloomsDay
All else are castles built in the air"
This tiny rosette grass blossom is about 1 mm wide.
My next Bloomsday Halifax post, this time about how I used OpenAI's Dall-E 3 API to generate custom AI art for the participants. The weird surreal uncanny look turned out to be PERFECT for this episode, which is all about the surreal and uncanny anyhow #ulysses #jamesjoyce #bloomsday #aiart
