LIBRARY NOTES
The Honorable David Norris
A James Joyce Evening
Saturday, September 12, 1998 at 6:00 PM
Members' Room; $20 per person
David Norris, noted literary scholar and Irish parliamentarian, returns to the Library to repeat the Joycean program, "Do You Hear What I'm Seeing?", that met with great acclaim last year.
This one-man show of readings and commentary about James Joyce has delighted audiences the world over. Senator Norris, professor of English studies at Trinity College Dublin and a member of the upper house of the Irish Parliament, has given this program - described variously as "hilarious", "blasphemous", "exuberant" and "lyrical" - in London, Paris, Jerusalem and Toronto, among other places.
The evening is sponsored by the James Joyce Centre in Dublin, which promotes interest in the writer's life and work and has become a vital setting for readings, films, musical events and other activities relating to Irish and European writers.
