Why Read Ulysses-Voices From Around the World

The 2026 season opens with this podcast.
Ulysses in 80 is a global reading of James Joyce’s Ulysses, now in its fifth year, moving through the book together over eighty days.
This episode gathers twenty-four voices — all participants in the global group — who offered their own response to a simple question: why read Ulysses? This is the first podcast of the 2026 season.
These voices were not recorded in a studio, and not rehearsed. They arrived as they are — from around the world — finding their way into one place.
What emerges is a mosaic of voices, each one distinct, yet somehow in conversation.
And in a time that feels difficult, and with a book that often feels the same, something else begins to happen: we begin to hear each other.
The 2026 Ulysses in 80 reading begins June 1.
