🧠Lecture: "Ulysses: One of Literature's Boldest Experiments"
🎤 Speaker: Sydney Mitsunaga-Whitten
Join us for an evening devoted to Ireland’s most celebrated—and most challenging—novel: James Joyce’s Ulysses, the book he boasted would “keep the professors guessing for two hundred years.”
Behind its reputation for difficulty lies a funny, radical, and deeply human work. Unfolding over a single day in Dublin, Ulysses transforms the ordinary—walking city streets, sharing meals, navigating relationships—into something epic, intimate, and profoundly moving.
Sydney Mitsunaga-Whitten will guide us through what makes this modernist masterpiece so daring in form yet so grounded in the texture of everyday life. We’ll explore how Joyce reimagined the novel itself, why the book once scandalized readers, and how its bold experiments still feel strikingly alive today.
Whether you’re a longtime admirer, an anxious first-time reader, or just Ulysses-curious, this lecture will offer fresh ways into one of literature’s most notorious—and rewarding—books.
