Sorry there were no posts over the weekend, readers, but it has been a busy one.
Yesterday was Bloomsday in Modica, with talks about Joyce in the morning and evening, plus the opening, at the Palazzo della Cultura, of local artist Guglielmo Manenti's exhibition of paintings inspired by Ulysses and other novels by Joyce. I loved these works, especially those in which Joyce is depicted amidst very Modican scenery - a "MODified Joyce", as one of the speakers put it:
[I couldn't take good photographs due to the gallery lighting.]A fine set of translations of Joyce into many languages was also on display - the Franco Antonio ["Ciccio"] Belgiorno Collection.
