#OTD in 1878 – Birth of Oliver St John Gogarty, writer, and the model for the ‘stately, plump Buck Mulligan’ in Joyce’s “Ulysses”.

Oliver St John Gogarty was a poet, author, otolaryngologist, athlete, politician, and well-known conversationalist. As a Sinn Féiner during the Irish War of Independence, Gogarty participated in a variety of anti-Black and Tan schemes, allowing his home to be used as a safe house and transporting disguised IRA volunteers in his car. Following the ratification of the Anglo-Irish Treaty, Gogarty…

An Easy Charm

A couple of chimney pieces in Renvyle House, County Galway. For centuries this property belonged to the Blake family but in 1917 it was sold to the surgeon and writer Oliver St John Gogarty. However, because he served as a Free State senator, not only was Gogarty kidnapped by anti-Treaty supporters in January 1923 but the following month Renvyle House was burnt down. Five years later, it was…

Francis Joseph Christopher Sheehy Skeffington (1878 – 1916) was an Irish writer and radical activist, known by the nickname "Skeffy". He was a friend and schoolmate of James Joyce (and the real-life model for a character in Joyce's novel A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man), Oliver St. John Gogarty, Tom Kettle, and Frank O'Brien (the father of Conor Cruise O'Brien). When he married Hanna Sheehy in 1903, he adopted her surname as part of his own, resulting in the name "Sheehy Skeffington". They always spelled their joined names unhyphenated, although many others used the hyphen.

La centralissima Duke Street, nel cuore di Dublino, non poteva che ospitare un pub con una storia così importante. Dal 1822, 'The Duke', concede ai propri clienti un ambiente tradizionale da fare invidia. La sua atmosfera così straordinariamente intima è stata capace di sedurre alcuni degli esponenti più rilevanti della moderna letteratura irlandese. James Joyce, Oliver Gogarty, Arturh Griffith. E poi Brendan Behan, Flann O'Brien, Patrick Kavanagh. Insomma, una compagnia di tutto rispetto. La facciata del pub, ristrutturata nel 1890, non ha subito ulteriori modifiche, riuscendo a conservare inalterati i propri tratti distintivi, in primis semplicità ed eleganza. Il classico interno tutto legno e pochi fronzoli lo rendono decisamente accogliente: l'indiscutibile sobrietà è un facile incentivo per bere pinte, sorseggiare un whiskey e gustare qualche piatto 'made in Ireland'. Magari godendo della buona musica tradizionale irlandese. In sostanza, un pub autentico. A due passi da Grafton Street, Temple Bar e St Stephen's Green. 🇮🇪🍻🥃🎻

El gordo Mulligan

Cómo olvidar ese primer párrafo del Ulises traducido por Marcelo Zabaloy. En escena, como si estuviéramos mirando una obra de teatro (me la imagino a lo Beckett), aparece un gordo en bata amarilla desaliñada, con un cuenco de espuma, un espejo y una navaja. Es de mañana, vive en una torre. El tipo está a punto de afeitarse, pero antes bendice a la tierra toda y sus montañas. 

Papada oval, cara rechoncha, el gordo es Malachi “Buck” Mulligan, un chanta, un sabelotodo insoportable, un sacerdote cuidador de las artes de la Edad Media pero también un gordo creído. Treinta segundos de lectura y ya hay una alusión a Shakespeare. 

Este señor remite al Sir John Falstaff, el personaje creado por el inglés y puesto a jugar en varias obras de su infinita autoría. Autor detrás del autor. Qué dios detrás de dios la trama empieza. Ni idea de cómo era la cita exacta, pero odio guglear. 

“Caballero gordo, vanidoso y fanfarrón”, dice Wikipedia de Falstaff. El amor a Shakespeare vivirá con potencia en cada hoja de esta primera parte. Un cruce en que se desarman los nombres y remiten al pasado, a otros héroes que comienzan a viajar igual que los que leemos. 

El falso sacerdote bendice irónicamente al día:

Introibo ad altare Dei 

Voy a entrar en el altar de Dios

Joyce es el Dédalus que aparece al toque, amigo de Mulligan que estudia medicina. Ambos viven en una torre. Esto remite al Joyce real, que también vivió en una torre con su amigo estudiante de medicina y poeta, Oliver St. John Gogarty. 

La “Martello Tower” queda en Sandycove, Dublín, y se puede visitar aún hoy.

Mt. Vernon, built by the local Skeretts around 1790. It became the summer home of the Lane family in the mid 1800's. Hugh Lane founded Dublin's Municipal Gallery of Modern Art in 1880. The House was presented to Lady Gregory of Coole Park (Hugh's Aunt) as a wedding present from her husband. WB Yeats, George Bernard Shaw, Edward Martin, Oliver St. John Gogarty and JM Synge were regular visitors. Lady Gregory presented the house to her son, Robert, on his marriage.
