James Joyce wrote a book called “Ulysses” for which you may or may not have read the Cliffnotes some time in high school. Once a year, literary lovers around the world do their darndest to reenact the events of the novel which took place over one long day in Dublin in 1904. The celebration is called Bloomsday after the main character, Leopold Bloom.

Brooklyn is having its very first Bloomsday this Saturday (6/12) thanks to the Friendly Sons of St. Patrick, and the celebration is taking the form of a pub crawl along Park Slope’s 5th avenue with readings, reenactments, piping and snacks along the way!

COUNT US IN.

Full disclosure: We designed the posters/pins/banners/programs etc and we love pub crawls, so even though neither Steven nor I ever finished readings “Ulysses”, our Saturday never stood a chance.
