featured Wiki of the Day

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.

Almost immediately, he found himself as sideman for notable locals such as Kermit Ruffins, Michael Ward and The Reward, and Sun Ra trumpeter, Michael Ray.  In 1992 he co-founded the New Orleans Klezmer All-Stars(NOKAS), a pioneering klezmer ensemble that infused that music with the vibrancy and energy of the funk, jazz and brass music of New Orleans. To date he has had opportunity to play with most of New Orleans' greatest musicians from across all genres.  NOKAS was playing some of his compositions, but by 1993 he found himself seeking outlets for his compositions in other styles and forms.  After playing with a plethora of combos and experimenting with many great local musicians he formed Naked On The Floor and eventually The Naked Orchestra. Naked on the Floor (quintet) and the Naked Orchestra (18-24 piece creative orchestra) play Freilich's original compositions exclusively and still play regularly in New Orleans. He has appeared at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival 24 times as well as headlining the Berlin Jazz Festival with NOKAS. He has appeared at numerous other festivals inside and outside the country including Bonnaroo, the Ann Arbor Jazz Festival, The American Folklife festival at the Washington Monument, collaborations with poet, Andrei Codrescu at the Holocaust museum in NYC and many others. Other notable work includes appearances with Sam Rivers, Burton Greene, Marshall Allen, The Wild Magnolias and backing songwriters such as Robbie Robertson. He has done arrangements for a wide range of recordings from, Peter Stampfel to Hal Willner's presentation of U@ doing music of T-Rex. He is featured on over 21 recordings ranging from Klezmer to Afro-Cuban and avant-garde orchestra music. Recently he put out two CD's of a large orchestra playing his original compositions, a small group, and played on Marianne Faithfull's latest release.  Many of these recordings are either Big Easy or Offbeat entertainment award winners across a number of categories.  He also has music featured in films and TV shows (Andy Richter conquers the Universe, The Dukes of Hazzard(Warner Home Video) as well as commercials for companies such as Southwest Airlines and Mercedes.    n 2016 he produced and arranged an album, NOLA? for legendary Basque artist, Fermin Muguruza. Rearrangements of Muguruza's classic work utilizing the great players and sounds of New Orleans. That led to a very successful European run for the Basque New Orleans Orchestra. Other arranging credits include Hal Wilner and U2 tribute to T. Rex and Grammy Award winner, Peter Stampfel's 100 songs of the 20th century project.      His work includes 4 completed and performed operatic works: a comic-satirical opera, Bang the Law, about a couple of New Orleans lawyers and their movements through New Orleans class detritus after Hurricane Katrina, a two movement orchestral fantasy about Elias Cannetti at carnival, formation of a new quintet to play new original compositions, an octet reduction of Peter and the Wolf for a New Orleans Contemporary Art Center/Guggenheim foundation presentation; a second opera, ee me & cummings thee which premiered in New Orleans in Nov. 2011.   2019 saw the completion of two operas. One a hyper-collaborative project with writer, Bernard Pearce, The Coronation, on the selecting of queen bees. In June 2019 he wrote an operetta on the Dirty Letters of James Joyce to Nora Barnacle, titled Darling, Please do not be offended at what I wrote.  He is the subject of the one hour radio documentary Jonathan Freilich's Freedom Double-O Naked Klezmer Jazz Latin Boogaloo: The Radio Documentary by award winning documentarian, David Kunian and was the 2008 Louisiana Governors' Music Fellowship Award recipient.  This year he figured as a Rising Star guitarist in Downbeat's Critics Poll.  Freilich was born Oct.13, 1968 in Philadelphia, Pa.  He spent most of his early years, up until a late teenager in London, England before moving to Los Angeles in 1985.  Thereafter, he moved to Santa Cruz, Ca in 1987 before the 1989 move to New Orleans.  Currently, he is residing in Los Angeles after completing further studies in composition at California Institute of the Arts.

E78 The Fifth CourtDSBA Legal Podcast of the YearWith thanks to Clio Legal Software.Bloomsday is a celebration of James Joyce's Ulysses, taking place annually on June 16th. The date commemorates the events of the novel, which are set on June 16, 1904. This day is significant because it marks Joyce's first outing with his future wife, Nora Barnacle.The publication of Ulysses itself became a landmark legal case in literary history. The novel was banned for obscenity in several countries, including the United States and the United Kingdom, leading to legal battles that challenged and eventually redefined the limits of literary expression and censorship.Our hosts, barristers and literary buffs, Peter Leonard and Mark Tottenham discuss some of the many issues around the case taken in the US including some nuggets that you'll be able to 'drop' at the dinner party table when next discussing why you haven't finished reading Ulysses.As always, Peter and Mark also discuss some more recent cases from the Decisis.ie casebook.

James Augustine Aloysius Joyce was an Irish novelist and poet. Perhaps best known for his novel Ulysses, his other works remain must-reads, in particular the short-story collection Dubliners and Finnegans Wake.At the age of 9 Joyce wrote the poet “Et tu, Healy.” The poem related to the death of Charles Stewart Parnell and expressed a sense of betrayal by the Irish Catholic Church, the Irish Parliamentary Party and the British Liberal Party for the result of the failure of establishing Irish Home Rule. 9 years old…At university he discovered the scholasticism of Thomas Aquinas and was thereafter influenced by his thoughts. After university he went to live in Paris. In April 1903 he returned to Dublin to tend to his dying mother reading to her drafts of his work.In 1904 he met Nora Barnacle and they remained together until the day he died. Joyce had considered becoming a doctor, and in 1904 explored becoming a musical performer.Joyce travelled to find work where he could, it was trying, often being told vacancies existed where they did not. Via Zürich, then Pola the Joyce family moved to Trieste, where he started teaching English. A noble undertaking. As much as Joyce travelled and wrote however, Dublin was forever in his heart and soul…and pen.There is so much to cover that I do not have the space to do so here. In 2019, when the proposal arose of repatriating Joyce's remains, the Irish Times wrote this: " ...it is hard not to suspect that there is a calculating, even mercantile, aspect to contemporary Ireland's relationship to its great writers, whom we are often more keen to 'celebrate', and if possible monetise, than read."I welcome opinions of every kind so please come and find me on social media at:Instagram: TwoandaMicTwitter: TwoandaMic1

At the age of 20, three months after meeting James Joyce, Nora Barnacle left everything she knew behind to share the adventure of a lifetime with him. She was a maid in a Dublin hotel when they met, and he was a clever and ambitious young man who wanted to be a writer. In 1904, they shipped out for mainland Europe, at times living a hand-to-mouth existence, at other times eating in the best restaurants. But through it all, Nora stuck by Joyce, who made her his muse and immortalised her as Molly Bloom in Ulysses. Nuala O’Connor, who brings Nora vividly to life in her novel of the same name, discusses the famous literary couple. Nora: A Love Story of Nora Barnacle and James Joyce by Nuala O’Connor is published by New Island: https://www.newisland.ie/fiction/nora Produced and presented by Martina Devlin

“Toda vida consiste en muchos días, día tras día, caminamos a través de nosotros mismos encontrando ladrones, fantasmas, gigantes, viejos, jóvenes, esposas, viudas….”. Fragmento de 'Ulises', de James Joyce. Nacido en 1.882 en un suburbio de Dublín, James Joyce creció en la pobreza desde que su padre perdió su trabajo como recaudador de impuestos. En la Universidad de esta ciudad estudió inglés, francés e italiano; luego se trasladó a París con la intención de estudiar medicina. Regresó a Dublín al morir su madre, y malvivió como reseñista y maestro. En 1.904 se fugó a Zurich con Nora Barnacle. Más tarde obtendría un puesto de maestro en Triestre. Su libro de relatos “Dublineses”, se publicó en 1.914, y en 1.916 la novela “Retrato del artista adolescente”.”Ulises” salió a la luz en 1.922. Cuando la revista estadounidense “The little Review”publicó fragmentos de la novela, fue demandada por obscenidad. En 1.920 Joyce se trasladó a París, donde vivió veinte años. Allí escribió su obra maestra final, “Finnegans Wake”. En 1.940, huyendo de la invasión nazi, regresó a Zurich, donde falleció en 1.941. La acción de “Ulises” tiene lugar en Dublín y sus alrededores el 16 de Junio de 1.904, y son tres los principales personajes: Stephen Dedalus, de 22 años, maestro y aspirante a escritor; Leopold Bloom, agente de publicidad, medio judío húngaro y medio irlandés, de 38 años; y su esposa Molly, una cantante de 34 años de la que Leopold sospecha, acertadamente, que le es infiel con un vividor conocido como Blazes Boylan. La novela presenta otros muchos personajes, y de la vida interior de Stephen, Bloom y Molly surge un Dublín caleidoscópico, condensado en un cuarto de millón de palabras de inventiva microscópicamente detallada. Al desnudar la multiplicidad de pensamientos, emociones y acciones, incluidas las fisiológicas, de los tres personajes a lo largo de un día y su noche, “Ulises” hace público lo privado a una escala nunca vista antes en la narrativa. Además de las calles de Dublín los escenarios principales de la obra son una torre defensiva habitable, un colegio, una playa, una casa, una carnicería, un cementerio, la redacción de un periódico, una biblioteca, una funeraria, una sala de conciertos, una taberna, un hospital, un burdel y el llamado Refugio del Cochero. Los primeros capítulos tienden un puente con la novela previa, autobiográfica, “Retrato del artista adolescente”, que narra como Stephen Dedalus adquiere la confianza necesaria para liberar su talento de las presiones conformistas de la Iglesia católica, de su formación y de su país. En “Ulises”, Stephen reaparece por la mañana enfrascado en un duelo verbal con su cínico amigo Buck Mulligan en la torre donde viven, en Sandycove. Recuerda a su madre en su lecho de muerte y, sintiéndose culpable, reflexiona sobre su rechazo a rezar por ella, basado en sus principios ateos. Luego imparte una lección de historia y camina por la playa. La narración retrocede a las ocho de la mañana y adopta por completo el estilo del flujo de conciencia mientras el lector sigue a Leopold Bloom planeando el desayuno en casa, comprándolo en la carnicería, preparándolo y subiéndolo en una bandeja a Molly. Joice utiliza el monologo interior en grados diversos para relatar las experiencias de Stephen, Boom y Molly; pero para hacer avanzar la acción, entrelaza hábilmente el monólogo interior y la narración en tercera persona. Leopold Bloom es uno de los personajes más conseguidos de la literatura. Es un hombre corriente con los apetitos normales, inteligente pero lejos de ser un intelectual. Tiene un carácter afable, muestra gusto por la comodidad y procura evitar la confrontación. En su presentación, la sencilla relación que mantiene con sus funciones corporales y con algunas personas de su entorno lo distinguen claramente del cerebral y susceptible Stephen. El último episodio de “Ulises” es una obra maestra del monólogo interior. Revela los pensamientos más íntimos de Molly por la noche, tumbada en la cama al borde del sueño. Hasta ese momento, hemos visto a Molly a través de los ojos de su celoso marido, Leopold Bloom. El cambio de punto de vista, o sea de masculino a femenino, que aquí se produce es uno de las más brillantes de la literatura moderna. Tras haber descrito la cultura patriarcal de la ciudad, en la que las mujeres tienen un papel clave como esposas, madres y prostitutas, fuentes de sustento emocional y de satisfacción física, sin que su voz sea escuchada, Joyce restaura el equilibrio dando a Molly una voz propia. Permitir que su protagonista femenina tenga la última palabra es un testimonio de la imaginación omnímoda de Joyce. Con todo algunas críticas feministas ven a Molly, en su pasividad, como una criatura hecha de malas interpretaciones masculinas. Mientras Molly yace en la cama, el monólogo interior puede alcanzar su forma más pura, sin interrupciones narrativas. La puntuación desaparece. Los recuerdos se empujan entre sí. El lenguaje franco, con vulgares coloquialismos, cede el paso a un recuerdo de juventud en Gibraltar y del cortejo posterior por parte de Bloom, expresado en el estilo de la narración romántica. Este estilo no es un mero recurso literario: forma parte del lenguaje interior de la sensibilidad romántica, si bien carnal, de Molly. La experimentación lingüística no es el único recurso literario que apuntala esta obra multidimensional. El título, “Ulises”, es la pista de una elaborada subestructura simbólica. Ulises es el nombre latino de Odiseo, el rey griego de Ítaca protagonista de la “Odisea” de Homero, que pasó los diez años posteriores a la guerra de Troya como aventurero errante antes de regresar a su hogar. Joyce identifica a Leopold Bloom con Odiseo y a Stephen con su hijo, Telémaco, que en los cuatro primeros libros de la Odisea busca en vano a su padre perdido; y asocia a Molly con Penélope, esposa de Odiseo, quién cree que su marido aún vive y que regresará. Cada uno de los dieciocho episodios o capítulos de la novela se corresponde con una aventura de la epopeya homérica. Los tres primeros se centran en Stephen y siguen una estructura que recuerda a la de la “Odisea”. En el tercer episodio, Stephen cuestiona la institución de la paternidad mientras piensa en una discusión en una biblioteca. El pasaje traduce los aprietos de Telémaco como hijo sin padre en un debate abstracto sobre la noción moderna de la relación padre-hijo. En el episodio doce, el Cíclope de la “Odisea” toma la forma de un patriota agresivamente xenófobo que discute a gritos con Bloom. El estrecho chovinismo de este ciudadano es un reflejo de la limitada vista del Cíclope. Más tarde, el narrador sin nombre hace referencia a un deshollinador que casi le metió la herramienta en un ojo, lo que trae a la memoria el ataque de Odiseo al Cíclope. El valor temático del paralelismo homérico es más fuerte en los roles míticos adjudicados a Stephen y a Bloom. Stephen busca de forma inconsciente el apoyo de una figura paterna para poder convertirse él mismo en padre, tanto literal como artísticamente. Los pasajes sobre la Santísima Trinidad, que contiene la más compleja de todas las relaciones paterno-filiales, y sobre el Hamlet de Shakespeare, desgarrado por los pensamientos de venganza contra el asesino de su padre, que ahora es su propio padrastro, suman capas de significado a la búsqueda de Stephen. Recíprocamente, Bloom (cuyo hijo Rudy murió once años atrás) tiene la profunda necesidad psicológica de un hijo. Esto añade patetismo a la dinámica Odiseo-Telémaco. Bloom y Stephen se encuentran por casualidad en el hospital de maternidad de la calle Holles; la asociación del lugar con el nacimiento y la paternidad no es accidental. A su debido tiempo, Bloom salva a Stephen de ser arrestado tras una reyerta en el barrio rojo. Cuando, más tarde esa misma noche, se sientan a beber cacao en la cocina de Bloom, Stephen vislumbra el pasado en Bloom, mientras que este ve el futuro en Stephen. De acuerdo con la sutileza narrativa propia de Joyce, este reconocimiento mutuo es una insinuación fugaz, más que un clímax evidente. Además de proporcionar un juego de correspondencias simbólicas, el marco homérico permitió a Joyce insinuar que Bloom, el hombre corriente, podía tener una dimensión heroica. Se trata de un heroísmo, o antiheroísmo, de lo cotidiano, que se demuestra principalmente en el interior de la mente, palestra de los miedos y anhelos del individuo. Es aquí donde uno combate los celos, la ira, la vergüenza y la culpa, y donde abriga la esperanza y el amor que dan a la vida su significado. Tras el punto final de la novela, James Joyce dejó un recordatorio de su propio viaje odiseico como autor: “Triestre-Zúrich-París, 1.914-1.921”. Pese a su talante cosmopolita, el autor sentía el tirón del exilio. Pero vivir en el extranjero le permitió recrear Dublín, en toda su vulgaridad y vitalidad, como el hogar de su imaginación. En 1.904, año en que se sitúa la obra, los sentimientos políticos estaban exaltados tras el fracaso de la Home Rule, un intento de dotar de autogobierno a Irlanda. En 1.922, el año en que se publicó “Ulises”, y tras una sangrienta guerra civil, se formó el Estado Libre Irlandés. Como reflejo de esta realidad política, los personajes del Dublín ficticio de Joyce están llenos de inquietud en su relación con las instituciones y movimientos: el Imperio británico, la Iglesia católica, el nacionalismo irlandés y el renacimiento céltico. Así, a la vez que “Ulises” presenta los detalles de la experiencia individual con una franqueza sin precedentes, también traza un resuelto retrato del agitado microcosmos de la sociedad irlandesa. Sin embargo, todos los temas de la novela están subordinados a la viva riqueza de su mundo ficticio. La verdadera fuerza de la obra procede de la vida vertida en ella, más aún que de sus elaborados artificios literarios. En el corazón de “Ulises” están las vidas y los amores de los dublineses, plasmados con una verosimilitud asombrosa. Los muchos recursos que Joyce se atrevió a poner en juego en esta obra constituyeron un revulsivo para la novela burguesa convencional. Sus atrevimientos fueron tantos que la censura existentes en los países anglosajones la emprendió con “Ulises”; el sentido puritano de la moral protestante consideró obscenas muchas de las referencias sensuales que llenan la novela. A la moral imperante le molestaron no ya sólo las escenas sexuales, que no son pocas, sino todo aquello que sonase a sensorial. Y, en “Ulises”, todo suena; toda palabra tiene en ella una sensorialidad muy acusada: tanto, que su lectura puede llegar a saturar los sentidos y, en determinadas escenas, a enardecerlos o desagradarlos. Pero, desde luego, como no puede quedar el lector es indiferente: había nacido una nueva forma de novelar.

Click here to buy: https://adbl.co/2YMLK23 It was June 10th, Barnacle Day. He saw her in Nassau Street and they stopped to talk. She thought his blue eyes were those of a Norseman. He was twenty-two, and she, Nora Barnacle, was twenty and employed as a chambermaid in Finn's Hotel. They agreed to meet on June 14th, outside No. 1 Merrion Square, the home of Sir William Wilde, but Nora did not turn up. After a dejected letter from Joyce they met on June 16th, a date which came to be immortalized in literature as Bloomsday. Edna O'Brien paints a miniature portrait of an artist, idealist, insurgent and filled with a secret loneliness. In Nora, he was to find accomplice, collaborator and muse. For all their sexual escalations, Joyce considered their relationship 'a kind of sacrament'. Their life was one of wandering, emotional upheaval and poverty. It was also one that was binding and mysterious, and defied all the mores of intimacy. In prose brimming with life and energy, Edna O'Brien resurrects a relationship of magnificent intensity on the page, and in doing so shows herself to be touched by the genius of the writer she loves above all others.

On 16 June 1904, Dublin writer James Joyce walked out for the first time with Nora Barnacle, who became his life partner and eventually his wife. Produced and presented by Brian Byrne for Kilcullen Diary. Some of the content: Joyce's novel Ulysses, published in 1922, was set on the same date. The epic work describes a day in the life of one Leopold Bloom, as he walks around Dublin, and drives with friends in a carriage to a funeral. Joyce and Nora went off to Europe not too long after they started going out. They ended up spending much of their life in Trieste in Italy, and later in Zurich. The modern Bloomsday was started in 1954 by Dublin publican and artist John Ryan, along with the novelist Brian O'Nolan otherwise famous under his pseudonyms of Flann O'Brien and Myles na gCopaleen. They, with a group of other Dublin intellectuals and writers, hired a couple of horse-drawn cabs to make a pilgrimage along the Ulysses roads and stops. Bloomsday is strongly celebrated in Hungary, in at least 17 major cities in the United States, in Trieste and Genoa in Italy, in Sydney and Melbourne in Australia.

The journey begins with Joyce the arrogant youth, his lofty courtship of Nora Barnacle, their hectic sexuality, children, wanderings, debt and profligacy, and Joyce's obsession with the city of Dublin, which he would re-render through his words. Nor does Edna O'Brien spare us the anger and isolation of Joyce's later years, when he felt that the world had turned its back on him, and she asks how could it be otherwise for a man who knew that conflict is the source of all creation. 'A delight from start to finish . . . achieves the near impossibility of giving a thoroughly fresh view of Joyce' Sunday Times 'As skilful, stylish and pacy as one would expect from so adept a novelist' Sunday Telegraph 'Accessible and passionate, it is a book which should bring Joyce in all his glory and agony to a new and very wide audience' Irish Independent

Todos conocen a James Joyce como uno de los escritores más influyentes del siglo XX y, claro, por su obra maestra Ulises. También fue un gran escritor de cartas. Mantuvo durante un tiempo una relación epistolar con su esposa, la escritora Nora Barnacle. Estas son cartas con tal grado de lujuria, que sus descendientes decidieron mantenerlas ocultas por muchos años. La carta como una evocación, como un intento de revivir la cópula. Palabras que suenan, por momento, como el mismo sexo: brutal e irresistible. Lee la actriz Yael Gutman. ******* Mi dulce y traviesa pajarita cogedora. Aquí está otro billete para comprar lindos calzones o medias o ligas. Compra calzones de puta, amor, y asegúrate de rociarles las piernas con algún agradable aroma y también de mancharlas un poquito atrás. Pareces ansiosa de saber cómo recibí tu carta que dices es peor que la mía. ¿Cómo que es peor que la mía, amor? Sí, es peor en una o dos partes. Me refiero a la parte en la que dice que lo harás con tu lengua (no me refiero a que me chupes) y en esa amable palabra que escribiste bien grande y subrayada, pequeña canalla. Es excitante escuchar esa palabra (y una o dos más que no escribiste) en los labios de una chica. Pero prefiero que hables de ti y no de mí. Escríbeme una larga, larga carta, llena de esas y otras cosas, acerca de ti, querida. Ahora ya sabes cómo regalarme una erección. Dime las más pequeñas cosas acerca de ti tan detalladamente mientras sean obscenas, sucias y secretas. No escribas otra cosa. Deja a cada oración llenarse de sucias e impúdicas palabras y sonidos. Son lo más amo oír y ver en el papel, porque las más sucias son las más hermosas. Las dos partes de tu cuerpo que hacen cosas sucias son las más amadas por mí. Prefiero tu culo, querida, a tus tetitas porque hace cosas más sucias. Si amo tanto tu coño no tanto por ser la parte de tu cuerpo que penetro, sino porque hace otra cosa sucia. Puedo pasar todo el día acostado putaneando mientras miro la divina palabra que escribiste, y la cosa que dices quisieras hacer con tu lengua. Desearía poder oír tus labios murmurando esas celestiales y excitantes palabras sucias, ver tu boca haciendo ruidos y sonidos sucios, sentir tu cuerpo culebreando debajo mío oír y oler los gruesos sucios pedos de niña irse pop pop fuera de tu hermoso culo desnudo de niña y coger, coger, coger el sexo de mi caliente villana, mi pequeña y cogedora pajarita, por siempre. Estoy feliz ahora, porque mi putita dijo que quiere que lo hagamos por atrás, y quiere que la coja por la boca, y quiere desabotonarme y sacar mi petaca y chuparla como una teta. Más y más sucias que éstas cosas quiere ella hacer, mi pequeña y desnuda cogedora, mi pícara y pequeña culeadora, mi dulce y sucia pedorrita. Buenas noches mi pequeño coñito, me voy a acostar y jalármela hasta acabar. Escribe más y más sucio, querida.

Apart from that, nothing changes as Bláithín is staying dirty as ever with the help of James Joyce and Nora Barnacle. But alas! Breaking up is hard to do, so things get a little deep in this episode before moving right back to the moldy mildewy reality check that is bathrooms, and Karen shows us all of her Shabby Tiger.

Chapter 1 – Hmmm, I didn’t know that about … June and July Once they decide who gets to speak first, podcast co-hosts Ken Harvey, Jim Hills, Cindy Tingley and Paul Pitkin have a bunch of fun chatting about what happens during June and July in the Pacific Northwest and what's new at Sno-Isle Libraries. Two new videos posted on YouTube focus on early literacy tips and how to find great books to read. And June and July have official days for lots of things such as dairy, turkey, candy, flip-a-coin, hug your cat, yo-yo’s, doughnuts, chocolate ice cream, VCRs, Juneteenth and lots more including … Bloomsday! In the interest of full disclosure and righting an ill-informed wrong, one of the hosts (shhh, its Jim) noted that June 16 is called Bloomsday in commemoration and celebration of the life of Irish writer James Joyce. The date is observed annually in Dublin and elsewhere around the world as the day in Joyce’s novel “Ulysses” of protagonist Leopold Bloom’s first outing with his wife-to-be, Nora Barnacle. However, the Bloomsday Run in Spokane is traditionally the first Sunday in May, part of Spokane’s Lilac Festival and not tied to Joyce’s book. At all. Ever. But wait, there’s more! Chapter 2 – Hmmm, I didn’t know that about … Kurt Batdorf Kurt Batdorf is a recent addition to the Communications Dept. at Sno-Isle Libraries. Kurt brings 25 years of journalism experience covering communities within the library district across Snohomish and Island counties. Kurt recalls what it takes to sit through a school board meeting where even the school board members are falling asleep. Kurt even acknowledges that, on occasion, a source may have given him “the stink-eye” after a story was published. Kurt’s experience includes being the editor of a local business publication and started his tenure during the recession that affected many local businesses. Kurt also opines on the difficulties facing journalists today working to bring forth facts that inform communities. And some of the things that Kurt didn't know about Sno-Isle Libraries include the Snohomish Library's Hobbitt painting and just how dedicated library employees are to helping others.

Biography is a genre of largely unexamined power: a literary field that preserves stories of lived lives and, through them, perpetuates notions that there are certain ways lives can be lived. This is particularly true of the lives of women, which are often, in biography, confined to the marriage plot and detailed as events in the lives of men. As Jessa Crispin writes in her new book, The Dead Ladies Project: Exiles, Expats & Ex-Countries (University of Chicago Press, 2015), “The important task is to understand and modify the stories that are holding sway.” The founder and editor of the recently shuttered lit-blog Bookslut, Crispin spent a year and a half traveling abroad. Her genre-bending book, The Dead Ladies Project, is the legacy of that year and it’s a work that goes a long way in modifying the stories we typically tell, not just about women but about human beings- as thinkers, travelers, artists, and individuals. It’s a contemplative, wandering work, which captures the disorientations of travel, the anxiety/ecstasy of being alone, the ways in which we carry our pasts with us, and the integral role stories play in our understanding of our possibilities and the ways in which we live our lives.”What saves you is a new story to tell yourself about how things could be,” Crispin suggests and, as she moves from Berlin, Trieste, Sarajevo, St. Petersburg, contemplating the lives of William James, Nora Barnacle, Rebecca West, and Claude Cahun, she opens up story after story, expanding the narrative possibilities as she goes. Hers is a story which suggests the richness that comes of bouncing our lives off those of others. “It was the dead I wanted to talk to,” she writes, as she sets out on her travels. “I’d always been attracted to the unloosed, the wandering souls who were willing to scrape their lives clean and start again elsewhere. I needed to know how they did it, how they survived.” It’s an account which suggests the hunger for and value of such stories- the stories of lives which, as Carolyn G. Heilbrun put it, enable us to forge new fictions and new narratives for our own. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
