“Mrs. Dalloway said she would buy the flowers herself.” 💐 Virginia Woolf’s opening line in Mrs. Dalloway never gets old. 🌸 Happy #DallowayDay to all my fellow Woolf people out there!

Ulysses is consciousness meeting reality. But here's why I think Ulysses is extremely relevant. People believe Ulysses is this complex, difficult, inscrutable text full of references. And it is a difficult text, but its subject matter couldn't be more democratic. It's about a guy going about his day for one day. That's the plot of Ulysses. And, to me, that's what makes it very touching. You're in this guy's head, and you're kind of seeing life through his eyes, and at the end through his wife's eyes.That's how politics ought to be, too. The reason any of this stuff matters is that it affects us in the everyday. And I think the greatest literature, whether it's Ulysses or Mahfouz, when it touches politics, it's about how politics can make our everyday better or worse. And I think that same understanding of the imperative and the primacy of lived experience ought to be how our politics works.

Peter Buttigieg (U.S. presidential candidate)

(For somewhat darker readings of Ulysses, and of politics for that matter, see my last three Bloomsday essays: “Against Celebration: Bloomsday vs. Dallowayday,” “Bloomsday Notes: Jung on Joyce,” “Bloomsday Thoughts: Blasphemies, Monuments, Traditions.”)

Virtually celebrating #DallowayDay 2020 in a pandemic

Two years ago, when the third Wednesday in June was officially chosen as #DallowayDay, no one would have imagined that a worldwide pandemic would force us to devise or search out virtual or individual events to celebrate the fine day in June when Clarissa Dalloway went walking through London to “buy the flowers herself.”

But that is what has happened. And here are some of the events available…

My annotated copies of Ulysses and Mrs. Dalloway, offered in support of my Bloomsday 2018 rumination “Against Celebration,” inspired by Elaine Showalter’s provocation of two years back, on why in fact we celebrate Bloomsday and not Dallowayday.
