A tip:

If you are free on Friday, the 10th June, do try to attend the rehearsed reading of Tom Stoppard's play, Travesties, organized by the Zürich Comedy Club in Theater im Seefeld.

It is all about Joyce, Lenin, Tristan Tzara and Henry Carr of the Ulysses fame. A very enjoyable production!

Read as far as "... her climbing colour." (318.3)

We are still in the company of a Norwegian captain, who speaks Icelandic, Russian, etc. (Of course, we do not know with whom he talks.) A number of fish is mentioned, some talk about tailors, and then there is the Howth. A reader who knows Mark Twain recognizes Huckleberry Finn!

Important: The reading group meets next time on Monday, the 23rd May. Next Monday (16th May) is a holiday.

We started chapter 3 of book 2. And read as far as "... skull of skand." (310.30)

Nikki communicates the following:
"I suppose quite a few of us will be going to Rigiblick on June 22nd for the JoyceDada! reading by HansPeter MüllerDrossaart.  We will very probably be eating in the bistro next door before the performance.  If you or any one would like to join us, let me/Nikki know at Monday's FW reading and I'll make an expanded reservation."

Please note that there will be no blogpost next week on 11 April.
