UlyssesIn80-Reading James Joyce Masterpiece in 80 Days
Ulysses In 80: Episode #4- "Come Up, Kinch!" 05.31.2025
Reading Ulysses is often called a marathon—demanding, winding, and full of questions. Can I do this? Will I make it through? At the start of our 80-day journey, we offer encouragement—not just from fellow readers around the world, but from James Joyce himself. The novel’s first call to action, “Come up, Kinch!” (Stephen’s summons to rise and begin the day), sets the tone.
Hosts Mark Sanford Gross and Clíona Ó’Farrelly gather voices—new and returning participants—offering words and phrases of support to carry us through. This is not pomp and performance, just real readers walking the pages together.
Ulysses in 80 Days, 2025 begins June 1, 2025.
