Podcast appearances and mentions of James Joyce

In this episode of Spirit Box, I sit down with Gabriel Kennedy to discuss his new book, Chapel Perilous: The Life and Thought Crimes of Robert Anton Wilson. We explore Wilson's life, influences, and enduring ideas, with a particular focus on his concept of Chapel Perilous—an initiatory state of uncertainty, where perception is destabilized, and transformation is possible.Our conversation takes us through Wilson's time in Ireland, his engagement with esoteric and mystical traditions, and the deep imprint of Irish history and culture on his work. We also examine the broader themes of language loss, intergenerational trauma, and how these forces shape identity and collective memory. Gabriel shares the extensive research that went into writing his book, including interviews with nearly 75 people, and how Wilson's ideas remain relevant in today's world of uncertainty and paradigm shifts.In the Plus show, we go deeper into Robert Anton Wilson's time in Ireland and the profound themes he explored in The Widow's Son. Gabriel and I discuss how Wilson's time in Ireland, following personal tragedies, shaped his later works and connected him to the country's cultural and historical complexities. Through the novel's protagonist, Wilson examines intergenerational trauma, Irish identity, and the lingering scars of colonial history—ideas that remain deeply relevant today.We also explore the lasting impact of language loss in Ireland, tracing its roots to the famine and the cultural suppression that followed. Drawing on Translations by Brian Friel, we discuss how language shapes perception and identity, and how its revival is an act of cultural reclamation. This ties into a broader conversation on intergenerational trauma, the epigenetic effects of famine and stress, and the ongoing resurgence of ancestral practices like stone lifting and the Irish language.The conversation weaves together mysticism, history, and deep cultural memory—tracing how the echoes of the past still shape the present.Show Notes:Book website Robert Anton Wilson Biography - Explore the Life of a Visionary AuthorProp's Substack | Gabriel Kennedy aka Prop Anon | SubstackAbout – Gabriel Kennedy – MediumChapel Perilous: The Life and Thought Crimes of Robert Anton Wilson – Gabriel Kennedy's biography of RAW.Cosmic Trigger: Volume One – Wilson's exploration of Chapel Perilous and his experiences with synchronicity, psychedelics, and the occult.The Widow's Son – A novel exploring Irish history, identity, and intergenerational trauma.Prometheus Rising – A deep dive into consciousness, psychology, and personal reality tunnels.The Illuminatus!

Despite her hopes that Ben would, like her, have a high school infatuation with Thoreau, he explains that his interest began much later. Even if you don't know anything about Thoreau, if you're a walker or a hiker, you have experienced the unique meditative impact of this activity and can appreciate Ben's insights on it. Ben also has a book of fiction out titled The History of Sound that is a finalist for the Pen/Faulkner prize so we are just really thrilled to have him with us today.  And this week, for our recommendations section, we didn't just pick a random topic like asparagus or comas to share books about—we actually continue with the theme of walking. We each share at least 3 books that feature walking, hiking, or being in nature in some meditative way. We have literary fiction, memoirs, essays, and even a romance.   Books mentioned-- 1- Six Walks: In the Footsteps of Henry David Thoreau by Ben Shattuck   2- The History of Sound by Ben Shattuck   3- Better Living Through Birding: Notes from a Black Man in the Natural World by Christian Cooper   4- A Paris Year: My Day to Day Adventures in the Most Romantic City in the World by Janice Macleod   5- Dear Paris by Janice Macleod   6- The French Ingredient: A Memoir by Jane Bertch (La Cuisine French Cooking School)   7- Teaching a Stone to Talk by Annie Dillard   8- Pilgrim at Tinker Creek by Annie Dillard   9- The Journals of Henry David Thoreau by Henry David Thoreau    10 - Matrix by Lauren Groff   11- Year of Wonder by Geraldine Brooks   12- Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt   13- Dancing Woman by Elaine Neil Orr   14- A 5 Star Read Recommended by Fellow Book Lover Simone Praylow @fullof_lit - Twenty Years Later by Charlie Donlea   15- Summit Lake by Charlie Donlea   16- Don't Believe It by Charlie Donlea   17- In My Boots: A Memoir of 5 Million Steps Along the Appalachian Trail by Amanda K.

The Chief Minister the Deputy Chief Minister are in London for treaty negotiations.The Government says it remains firmly committed to securing a treaty which is safe and secure for Gibraltar. It reiterates the status quo we have enjoyed post-Brexit is not an option while being very clear that No Deal would be better than a bad deal. Our News Editor Christine Vasquez has been following the negotiations.It was a case of nearly but not quite for Gibraltar on Saturday. An encouraging start to their World Cup qualifying campaign despite losing 3-1 to Montenegro. So what positives could they take in to tomorrow's game against Czechia in Faro. We tuned in live to Gibraltar's pre-match press conference with interim head coach Scott Wiseman is alongside Ethan Britto. Our sports reporter Louis Parral gave us his reaction to the conference, and looked back at the rest of the sports news from over the weekend with Louis Parral, covering the 9-ball pool tournament, the first touch rugby event on the Rock, and the athletics trophy presentation.We look ahead to Bloomsday, which celebrates the life of Irish writer James Joyce ((on June 16th)). Think music, song, poetry, and theatre on an Irish theme. Gibraltar has a special connection with Joyce's book Ulysses, as his main female character, Molly Bloom, is a Gibraltarian (her mother is from La Linea and her father is an Irish soldier based on the Rock). We spoke to author Rebecca Faller about Bloomsday.And, "small act, big impact!" That's the slogan of "Enviromemo" - one of the many talented groups in this year's Young Enterprise competition. Their eco-friendly stickers help remind you to switch off your lights, and are made entirely from compostable and recyclable materials. We spoke to team members Sara, Alice and Danille.

Triest, am Rande Italiens gelegen, ist eine Stadt voller Gegensätze: Mediterrane Atmosphäre trifft auf mitteleuropäische Architektur, elegante Kaffeehäuser auf lebendige Hafenszenerie. Doch weshalb trägt diese italienische Hafenstadt auch heute noch deutlich die Handschrift der Habsburger?In dieser Episode reist Habsburg to go! nach Triest und erzählt die bewegende Geschichte von Schloss Miramare, erbaut im Jahr 1860 für Erzherzog Maximilian und seine Frau, Prinzessin Charlotte von Belgien. Miramare – ein märchenhaftes Schloss direkt am Meer, das zum Symbol einer großen Liebe wurde und zugleich Schauplatz tragischer Ereignisse war. Dabei tauchen wir tief in die Geschichte der außergewöhnlichen Charlotte ein: von ihrer Jugend am belgischen Hof über ihr glückliches Leben in Triest bis hin zu ihrem tragischen Schicksal in Mexiko und später in Europa.In dieser Folge erfährst du:Warum Triest sich vom kleinen Hafenstädtchen zur bedeutenden Metropole entwickelteWelche Rolle Kaiserin Maria Theresia und Kaiser Karl VI. für den Aufstieg der Stadt spieltenWie Schloss Miramare zu einem Ort zwischen Traum und Wirklichkeit wurdeDie Lebensgeschichte der charismatischen, aber tragischen Charlotte von BelgienAußerdem sprechen wir über:Die außergewöhnliche Kaffeehauskultur von Triest und ihre berühmtesten Gäste, darunter James Joyce und Italo SvevoFaszinierende Anekdoten rund um Triest und die Habsburger

Join us as Larry Kirwan spins us back to the vibrant, violent New York City of the 1980s and the lives of the mostly undocumented Irish who called a patch of turf there home, in his novel Rockin' The Bronx. Best known as the frontman for the legendary Irish-inflected rock & roll band Black 47, Larry delves into themes of immigration, Irish and Hispanic cultural intersections, the shifting fortunes of the navvies and the nannies, the unnamed scourge of AIDS, Reagan-era politics, and his creative process in writing plays, novels, and music. “I could tell you how to write a novel, and how to write a play, basically in five minutes each,” he says. “With songwriting, I still don't understand it. It's that moment when the hammer hits the anvil, and sparks fly.” Now the Wexford native is combining his songwriter and playwright skills in a new musical on labor organizer Elizabeth Gurley Flynn. And stick around for Martin's reading of a Rockin' The Bronx passage reminiscent of the closing section of James Joyce's “The Dead.” LinksBook Orders:Fordham University Press: Rockin' The BronxLarry KirwanWikipediaBlack 47Celtic Crush with Larry KirwanCeltic Crush FacebookPrior Irish Stew EpisodeEpisode Details: Season 7, Episode 9; Total Episode Count: 112

Exploring twentieth- and twenty-first century texts that wrestle with the Irish domestic interior as a sexualized and commodified space, Body Politics in Contemporary Irish Women's Fiction: The Literary Legacy of 'Mother Ireland' (Bloomsbury, 2025) provides readings of the power and authority of the feminized body in Ireland. Scheible dissects the ways that 'the woman-as-symbol' remains consistent in Irish literary representations of national experience in Irish fiction and shows how this problematizes the role of women in Ireland by underscoring the oppression of sexuality and gender that characterized Irish culture during the twentieth century. Examining works by Elizabeth Bowen, Pamela Hinkson, Emma Donoghue, Tana French, Sally Rooney and James Joyce, this book demonstrates that the definition of Irish nationhood in our contemporary experience of capitalism and biopolitics is dependent on the intertwining and paradoxical tropes of a traditional, yet equally sexual, feminine identity which has been quelled by violence and reproduction.

Flushed with their firestuffostered friendship, WAKE celebrates St. Patrick's Day by exploring all of the many ways that Finnegans Wake refers to whiskey: Ireland's beloved, potent créatúr. Joined by world whiskey historian and former Sweny's volunteer Fionnán O'Connor, we explode some myths regarding monks, St Patrick, and potatoes, brush off our pub stool wisdom, prepare the worm on our darling little stills, and consider the role trust plays in what is simultaneously the oldest and youngest whiskey industry in the world. So, tuck yourself into a snug in your local shebeen with a ball of malt, and don't forget to get in on a round: we bet you can't stay for just one.

Un historiador de arte le escribe a Carlos del Amor. Y le dice que hay un lienzo, pintado por Velázquez, el retrato de una mujer que podría ser Juana, la esposa del afamado pintor. Un lienzo que está en manos de un coleccionista llamado Prosper. Carlos del Amor, periodista de Televisión Española, y también escritor, hace de Carlos del Amor en Una dama desconocida, donde se pone el traje de detective para intentar resolver el misterio que entra en su vida a través de un correo electrónico.Las gemas y las piedras preciosas han ejercicio un especial influyo en nosotros, llegando al mundo del arte, de la cultura. Y Óscar Martínez ha publicado un ensayo muy interesante, publicado por Siruela.Si queremos que todo siga como está, es preciso que todo cambie. La adaptación a la televisión de El gatopardo, la novela inmortal de Giuseppe Lampedusa, ha recolectado elogios de muchos espectadores que la han visto. Una de ellos, Arturo Pérez-Reverte. El manuscrito tuvo su propia historia novelesca antes de ser publicado.En pequeñas historias de los clásicos, por qué James Joyce le tenía tanto miedo a los perros.Y entre las novedades potentes que han llegado, la última novela de María Oruña.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for March 11, 2025 is: quark • KWORK • noun Quark is a word used in physics to refer to any one of several types of very small particles that make up matter. // Quarks, which combine together to form protons and neutrons, come in six types, or flavors: up, down, charm, strange, top, and bottom. See the entry > Examples: “One quantum field is special because its default value can change. Called the Higgs field, it controls the mass of many fundamental particles, like electrons and quarks. Unlike every other quantum field physicists have discovered, the Higgs field has a default value above zero. Dialing the Higgs field value up or down would increase or decrease the mass of electrons and other particles. If the setting of the Higgs field were zero, those particles would be massless.” — Matt Von Hippel, Wired, 19 Aug. 2024 Did you know? If you were a physics major, chances are that James Joyce didn't make it onto your syllabus. While literature majors are likely more familiar with his work, Joyce has a surprising tie to physics. In the early 1960s, American physicist Murray Gell-Man came up with the word quork, which he used to refer to his concept of an elementary particle smaller than a proton or neutron (by his own account he was in the habit of using names like “squeak” and “squork” for peculiar objects). He later settled on the spelling quark after reading a line from James Joyce's Finnegans Wake: “Three quarks for Muster Mark! / Sure he has not got much of a bark / And sure any he has it's all beside the mark.” The name stuck and has been used by physicists ever since.

Caleb starts today's episode with some trouble he's having reading Ulysses by James Joyce. After that, we sit back, relax, and discuss the numerous obstacles we've encountered from editors when reviewing the edits for our works set for publication.  You can follow us on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter @dpwpodcast You can check out Caleb's work at www.calebjamesk.com. 

Tenemos la impresión de que los crímenes novelescos siempre tienen que ocurrir en grandes ciudades, como Madrid, Barcelona, Nueva York, París, Los Ángeles… Y hay autores que se empeñan todos los años en quitarnos la razón, en hacernos ver que estamos equivocados. Segovia, con su Acueducto imponiendo su silueta majestuosa, parece la ciudad perfecto para pasear y ser feliz, una ciudad de esas que no dejan espacio para el mal. Pero Juan Carlos Galindo nos ha demostrado que en Segovia también se mata. Al menos, en sus novelas. La última es Muerte privada, en la que una pista reabre el caso de Leticia Santos, una chica desaparecida hace veinte años en los alrededores del Alcázar. Y se ponen a trabajar el periodista Jean Ezequiel y la detective Teresa Trajano. El libro viene de la mano de Salamandra. El proceso de escritura tiene mucho de alquimia. De mezclar unos materiales con otros, transformándolos en algo diferente, un algo diferente que nos proporciona muchas horas de placer. Álvaro Colomer es un profesional de la información cultural al que un puñado de autores de primer nivel le han confiado sus secretos. Aprende a escribir es un libro lleno de revelaciones, de esas intimidades de los escritores. Lo ha publicado Debate. Llevamos casi un siglo esperando a Godot gracias a Samuel Beckett, un irlandés que fue muy amigo de James Joyce, pero que no solo dedicó su vida a la escritura. Tuvo varias amantes: una de ellas, la multimillonaria Peggy Guggenheim. Repasamos su vida, la pública y la privada. Y entre las novedades que llegan a las librerías, el regreso de Bevilacqua y Chamorro, treinta años después de que llegaran a nuestras vidas por obra y gracias de Lorenzo Silva. Y hasta tenemos la visita del conde Drácula.

William Boyle is the author of Saint of the Narrows Street. We chat Brooklyn Dodgers, Oxford Mississippi, James Joyce, the fun of NOT organizing personal libraries to indulge in the […]

This week, host Jason Jefferies is joined by frequent guest and Librarian at The Citadel Dan Hawkins, who discusses Suttree by Cormac McCarthy.  Topics of conversation include Vanity Fair, James Joyce and William Faulkner, existentialism, Walker Percy and much more.  Copies of Suttree can be ordered here from Page 158 Books in Wake Forest, NC.  Happy reading!

Often, when you show the Wake to an uninitiated reader, the first reaction will be “that's weird.” Today we embrace the weird and lean into the unconventional, with a delightful, insightful chat with the overseer of the Weirdoverse, Bobby Campbell. For this bonus non-reading episode, we discuss the major role of Robert Anton Wilson in Joyce culture, psychedelics, language creation as class warfare, and ponder the questions over whether the Wake is written in English, whether Joyce had syphilis, whether Joyce was psychic, and whether Joseph Campbell was citing his insider sources. As we consider the mile-long Alka-Seltzer tablet that is the Wake, we settle on questions of the work's place as a sacred text, whether Modernism remains unsolved, and gather our courage to brave the intimidating but friendly purists on Reddit.

Whenever I hear 1804-Haitian-fanatics—those who shout with fevered breath about the glories of the Haitian Revolution, about the unshakable Christophe, the unbreakable Dessalines, the brilliant Louverture—I think about something James Joyce once wrote, something about heroism and the lie that holds it together: “Do you not think the search for heroics damn vulgar? I am sure however that the whole structure of heroism is, and always was, a damned lie and that there cannot be any substitute for individual passion as the motive power of everything.” And maybe he was right. Maybe all the grand statues, all the history book renderings of Haitian men and women who lived and fought and bled—maybe they were always meant to obscure something harder to face: that there are no perfect person, no unblemished saviors, no mythic warriors who moved through the world without doubt, without error, without contradiction. That the stories we Haitians tell ourselves, the way we flatten our historical figures into marbles, the way we sand off their edges, all of it is less about truth and more about our comfort. That's what struck me reading Dr. Marlene Daut's “The First and Last King of Haiti.” It isn't a portrait built for worship. Christophe emerges not as an untouchable legend but as a man—a man who built, a man who ruled, a man who inspired and also a man who made shitloads of mistakes, who punished, who carried the weight of the impossible on his shoulders. There is no neat symmetry to his life here, no easy moral at the end. But there is something real, something tangible. There is a man who shaped history and was, in turn, shaped by it. And this is where I think Joyce and the 1804 purists miss each other. Heroism, as an idea, is flawed because we are all flawed. But Haitian history does not belong to those who refuse to see the fullness of its historical figures. It belongs to those Haitians who can hold contradiction, who can see Christophe not as some distant legend but as a man who, for all his flaws, left something behind that still stands. And maybe that is the only kind of heroism worth anything at all. --------INTRO MUSIV-------------------- Neg Mawon Theme: by Dr. Roch Ntankeh Language: Medumba from West Cameroon African Nation Affiliation: Bamileke Musical Genre: Mangabeu Licensed to: Nèg Media Inc Lyrics Tell me the story/Give me the news/Listen to Neg Mawon Listen to the story of the land/Listen to the history of Haiti/People of St Domingue where are you?People of Haiti where are you?/Come listen to the history/Come listen to the story/Where are the scholars?

fWotD Episode 2830: James Joyce Welcome to Featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia’s finest articles.The featured article for Sunday, 2 February 2025 is James Joyce.James Augustine Aloysius Joyce (2 February 1882 – 13 January 1941) was an Irish novelist, poet and literary critic. He contributed to the modernist avant-garde movement and is regarded as one of the most influential and important writers of the 20th century. Joyce's novel Ulysses (1922) is a landmark in which the episodes of Homer's Odyssey are paralleled in a variety of literary styles, particularly stream of consciousness. Other well-known works are the short-story collection Dubliners (1914), and the novels A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (1916) and Finnegans Wake (1939). His other writings include three books of poetry, a play, letters, and occasional journalism.Joyce was born in Dublin into a middle-class family. He attended the Jesuit Clongowes Wood College in County Kildare, then, briefly, the Christian Brothers–run O'Connell School. Despite the chaotic family life imposed by his father's unpredictable finances, he excelled at the Jesuit Belvedere College and graduated from University College Dublin in 1902. In 1904, he met his future wife, Nora Barnacle, and they moved to mainland Europe. He briefly worked in Pula and then moved to Trieste in Austria-Hungary, working as an English instructor. Except for an eight-month stay in Rome working as a correspondence clerk and three visits to Dublin, Joyce resided there until 1915. In Trieste, he published his book of poems Chamber Music and his short story collection Dubliners, and he began serially publishing A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man in the English magazine The Egoist. During most of World War I, Joyce lived in Zürich, Switzerland, and worked on Ulysses. After the war, he briefly returned to Trieste and then moved to Paris in 1920, which became his primary residence until 1940.Ulysses was first published in Paris in 1922, but its publication in the United Kingdom and the United States was prohibited because of its perceived obscenity. Copies were smuggled into both countries and pirated versions were printed until the mid-1930s, when publication finally became legal. Joyce started his next major work, Finnegans Wake, in 1923, publishing it sixteen years later in 1939. Between these years, Joyce travelled widely. He and Nora were married in a civil ceremony in London in 1931. He made a number of trips to Switzerland, frequently seeking treatment for his increasingly severe eye problems and psychological help for his daughter, Lucia. When France was occupied by Germany during World War II, Joyce moved back to Zürich in 1940. He died there in 1941 after surgery for a perforated ulcer, at age 58.Ulysses frequently ranks high in lists of great books, and the academic literature analysing his work is extensive and ongoing. Many writers, film-makers, and other artists have been influenced by his stylistic innovations, such as his meticulous attention to detail, use of interior monologue, wordplay, and the radical transformation of traditional plot and character development. Though most of his adult life was spent abroad, his fictional universe centres on Dublin and is largely populated by characters who closely resemble family members, enemies and friends from his time there. Ulysses in particular is set in the streets and alleyways of the city. Joyce is quoted as saying, "For myself, I always write about Dublin, because if I can get to the heart of Dublin I can get to the heart of all the cities of the world. In the particular is contained the universal."This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:49 UTC on Sunday, 2 February 2025.For the full current version of the article, see James Joyce on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Niamh.

I know my email is MrChristopherPatrick, but my full name is Christopher Patrick Toler. Having a couple of cousins who are ALSO named Chris Toler, (and wanting the signature 'Chris P.' for a comic strip I also do, prompted the use of my middle name. I now find myself attempting to start a brand, 'Tolergraphics,' and believe having my correct name mentioned along with talk of my designs would be helpful. Thank you in advance for addressing this, Christopher (Patrick) Toler P.S. Still love listening to the podcast. I'm happy to be a small part of it!” Cheryl Arvio emailed: "Dear Marc, Loved the interview with Shannon Heaton, especially hearing about her time in Chicago and playing in sessions. My partner has known John Williams for years, and we are actually going to Brendan and Siobhan McKinney's restaurant tonight!  They host sessions there on Sundays. Great coincidence to hear them mentioned on your show just as we were planning to go to their place for dinner and a James Joyce program! If we run into them, I'll mention having heard the shout out on Irish & Celtic Music Podcast! Best, Cheryl"

An episode that keeps it 100. Here's what's in store for today's episode: * It's our 100th episode! A huge thank you to our incredible supporters for joining us on this journey and uplifting our conversations about autistic culture and advocacy.* Our hosts kick off this episode by revisiting the topics they brainstormed when the podcast first began—like Lewis Carroll, James Joyce, and Steve Jobs—and reflecting on whether they've covered them all or if there's still more autistic culture to explore!* We discuss how episodes featuring autistic-coded people and characters with esoteric, autistic-coded lives often provide more content than those about openly autistic public figures because there's more room for interpretation, deeper cultural analysis, and a richer exploration of autistic themes in storytelling.* Matt and Angela also discuss Sir Isaac Newton and how, if he had masked his autism, we might not have groundbreaking innovations like bridges, gravity, or space travel.* We discuss the problematic figure of Temple Grandin, examining how much of her controversial platform is rooted in her support for eugenics practices and her reliance on neurotypical name recognition.* In addition, we explore neurotypical bias and how neurotypicals often react defensively to speculation that a public figure might be autistic, revealing their own inherent ableism and rigid, preconceived notions of autism.* We also dive into Hans Christian Andersen—an autistic icon—and his story The Ugly Duckling, exploring its autistic coding and the deeper message that we are not "ugly ducklings" to be fixed but neurodiverse and beautiful swans.* Matt and Angela then read heartfelt testimonials from listeners who have found comfort, validation, and a sense of belonging through the podcast. These messages highlight how the discussions on autistic culture, advocacy, and representation have resonated with the community, helping listeners feel seen, understood, and empowered in their own journeys.* Thank you all—we love you, and we're so grateful that this podcast helps you feel seen! Here's to many more episodes ahead. If you've enjoyed the journey so far, please consider leaving us a positive review on Spotify and Apple Podcasts to help us keep spreading autistic joy and advocacy!“There's a lot of gloom and doom out there [about autism] because it's profitable. To say autism is this horrible, horrible condition that needs to be cured, instead of - it's a way of life. It's just how our people do things. It's totally natural. It is just us. This is our way.” - Matt“Every once in awhile, I meet somebody out in the real world who is a listener. And it always amazes me because I know that you [Angela] and Simon are here because I can see you and I'm talking to you directly, but I never really expect that other people out there hear anything that I say.” - MattDid you catch all 100 layers of autistic culture in our milestone episode?

Founded in Chicago in 1914, the avant-garde journal the Little Review became a giant in the cause of modernism, publishing literature and art by luminaries such as T.S. Eliot, Djuna Barnes, William Butler Yeats, James Joyce, Ezra Pound, Pablo Picasso, Max Ernst, Gertrude Stein, Jean Toomer, William Carlos Williams, H.D., Amy Lowell, Marcel Duchamp, Joseph Stella, Hans Arp, Mina Loy, Emma Goldman, Wyndham Lewis, Hart Crane, Sherwood Anderson, and more. Perhaps most famously, the magazine published Joyce's Ulysses in serial form, causing a scandal and leading to a censorship trial that changed the course of literature. In this episode, Jacke talks to scholar Holly A. Baggett about her book Making No Compromise: Margaret Anderson, Jane Heap, and the Little Review, which tells the story of the two Midwestern women behind the Little Review, who were themselves iconoclastic rebels, living openly as lesbians and advocating for causes like anarchy, feminism, free love, and of course, groundbreaking literature and art.

We explore today's seismic changes in media and society, by tracing historical parallels between James Joyce's The Dead (1907) and today's digital age. Joyce's observations on in The Dead about generational divides, the rise of newspapers, and societal shifts echo loudly in 2025, as new gatekeepers like Musk, Zuckerberg, and Bezos wield unprecedented influence over the flow of information. How did media transform from a tool of advertisement to the battleground for ideas? What can we learn from Joyce's depiction of societal upheaval in 1907 as we navigate the tribalism and cultural revolutions of today? Join us from a snowy Ireland - as it was in The Dead - while we unpack history's lessons, from the industrial age's middle-class explosion to the rise of modernism and today's chaotic digital landscape. Are we witnessing a similar hinge moment, and what does it mean for the future? Join the gang! https://plus.acast.com/s/the-david-mcwilliams-podcast. Hosted on Acast.

Happy Joycension Day!For this year's Bloomcast Holiday Special, Alice, Lex, and Adam reunited for a lively discussion of Watt by Samuel Beckett, asking: How does Beckett's minimalist, disintegrative style compare to James Joyce's expansive, celebratory storytelling? What makes this novel so uniquely absurd and profound? And why does Watt feel both so playful and deeply unsettling? Is Watt a meticulously structured puzzle or an exercise in unraveling structure itself? What does Watt tell us about Beckett's influence on modern literature?Setting this enigmatic work against the context of Beckett's wartime experiences, they also explore how it challenges conventional ideas of narrative, language, and meaning. What is Watt's lasting impact on readers and thinkers alike? As always, our Bloomcasters invite listeners into a spirited and thought-provoking conversation that bridges literary analysis, philosophical inquiry, and personal reflections…before topping of the conversation with a game so contrived it would make Blazes Boylan blush.*Alice McCrum is a Ph.D. student in the Department of History at Princeton University.

Does your personal library overwhelm your home? Are there too many books in your life -- but you'll never get rid of them? Then you have a lot in common with Gilded Age mogul J.P. Morgan!Morgan was a defining figure of the late 19th century, engineering corporate mergers and crafting monopolies from the desk of his Wall Street office. His vast control over the steel and railroad industries paired with his connections in international banking granted him great power over American life and helped fuel the great economic disparities of the Gilded AgeIn the process Morgan became one of the wealthiest men in America -- but he did not tread the traditional path through New York high society. He preferred yachts over ballrooms.And books! For decades he collected thousands of rare books, letters, paintings and manuscripts from Gutenberg bibles to medieval illuminated tomes. There were so many books that Morgan decided to start the new century with his own personal project -- the construction of a library.Today the Morgan Library and Museum is open to the public and, as an active and thriving institution, continues to highlight the world's greatest examples of the printed word -- from Charles Dickens's manuscript for A Christmas Carol to past exhibitions on Beatrix Potter, James Joyce and even The Little Prince.Tom and Greg explore the biography of J. Pierpont Morgan then head to the Morgan Library to speak with Jennifer Tonkovich, the Eugene and Clare Thaw Curator of Drawings and Prints.And then they wander through the winding connections of buildings that comprise the Morgan Library & Museum -- from Morgan's study (and its 'hidden' vault of books) to the glorious main stacks, lined with triple tiers of bookcases fashioned of bronze and inlaid Circassian walnut.

Paris in the early 1900s was a magnet for convention-defying American women. It offered a delicious taste of freedom, which they used to explode the gender norms of their day, and to explore new kinds of art, literature, dance and design. In the process, they became arbiters of modernism.In this episode we revisit our interview with curator Robyn Asleson about the National Portrait Gallery's “Brilliant Exiles” exhibition, which opened in April. It features 60 trailblazing women, including the dancer, singer and spy Josephine Baker, as well as the bookshop owner Sylvia Beach, who took a chance on James Joyce. Also in the lineup: Ada ‘Bricktop' Smith, whose bustling nightclub became a hub for American jazz musicians, and Romaine Brooks, the painter who reinvented herself... and then reinvented herself again.The exhibition runs until Feb. 23, 2025, so there's still time to catch it!See the portraits we discussed:Ada “Bricktop” Smith, by Carl Van VechtenJosephine Baker, by Stanislaus Julian WaleryGertrude Stein, by Pablo PicassoSylvia Beach, by Paul-Émile BécatRomaine Brooks, self-portrait
