ULYSSES 100 is a brief & light introduction for Bloomsday novices; also featuring some new perspectives for avid Joyceans on James Joyce's teenage abode at 29 Windsor Avenue, Fairview, Dublin (his only home address that is specifically mentioned in ULYSSES - Wandering Rocks); and on Molly Bloom's Spanish / Fairview-Irish Jewish connections.Ten Poems
BLOOMSDAY - LAPIDARIUM - BRIGHT EYES - A CHERRY TREE IN FAIRVIEW PARK - DAY TRIPS TO HOWTH - HIPPY BROWN HAIR - RELIEVE-IO SUMMER - SWEET SUMMERTIME SMELLS - TO THE BULL WALL AND BACK - MARINO - NEW MAYLANDPREFACE TO THE BOOKLET
ULYSSES, BLOOMSDAY and even BLOOMSEVE! Frankfurt-Main has its own infectiously enthusiastic Joycean in Patrick Patridge, a native of Dublin and equally committed Frankfurtista who waxes just as lyrical on the ancient lanes and surviving landmarks of his adopted German city.
With more of Joyce's Dublin surviving intact (for reasons of history) than the beautiful fabric of old Frankfurt, one can still slap one's hand on the same bricks and mortar of much that was once Joyce's Dublin than is sometimes generally appreciated. Many familiar landmarks and sites in ULYSSES have fallen to rebellion, civil war and unsympathetic development, but enough, including numerous Joyce family homes on both sides of Anna Livia, still stand in various states of preservation - some with plaques, others not, modestly famous for their association with the world-renowned author. Places passed or visited by James Joyce in real life or by the characters in his fiction, may owe their survival and care to their inclusion in ULYSSES or in the other works of Joyce. Mentioned in Ulysses is almost equivalent to an honorary degree for any structure deemed worthy of preservation. Patrick Patridge, a Dubliner abroad like Joyce himself, and an author with a growing list of his own observations on German and Irish life and memory, urges a sense of public engagement with James Joyce and the sheer fun and enjoyment of Joyce's works for everyone who takes even a passing interest in the lives and times and ideas of Joyce and of his Irish literary contemporaries like Beckett, Lady Gregory and Yeats. BLOOMSDAY for many is browsing the bookshops on 16th June to briefly connect with the locations and characters in ULYSSES, even spotting revellers in period Edwardian dress and vicariously enjoying their enjoyment. Nothing, however, beats arranging to take the day off, picking some actual Dublin locations (and hostelries for strategic pit-stops and the observation of theatrical goings-on), and carrying one's own paperback ULYSSES for orientation and reference. Be ready for anything on the day, and you can't go wrong!Patrick Long M.A.

* * * What a lovely production! Your book Ulysses 100 is quite a treasure of Joyceana and local lore. The photos are wonderful and I am really enjoying reading through it. Thank you so much for this little treasure, I am sure it will be much appreciated by Joyceans, especially those on our Nth. side. Yvonne Altman-O'ConnorDirector Irish Jewish Museum
