1/5 Falabamos o outro día, co gallo do #Ulysses100, da tradución realizada por Otero Pedrayo, mais a relación da nosa literatura co clásico de James Joyce non se reduce a esta incursión do Patriarca de Trasalba.
2/5 Porque o que probabelmente poidamos considerar o primeiro "spin off" do "Ulysses" saíu do maxín de Vicente Risco: referímonos ao relato "Dedalus en Compostela", que viu a luz nas páxinas da revista "Nós" (onde se non!) en 1929. 
3/5 Como sabedes, Stephen Dedalus (alter ego do proprio Joyce) é o adláter de Leopold Bloom en "Ulysses", mais xa aparecera noutras obras do autor, como "A portrait of the artist as a young man" (1916), que o proprio Risco menciona explicitamente no seu relato.
For #Ulysses100 day, here’s a short thread with a few of my favourite records from the collection at @UkNatArchives relating to its suppression. I wrote a chapter of my PhD on Ulysses, and it will always have both a soft spot in my heart and a place in my worst anxiety dreams.
Firstly, the Dir. of Public Prosecutions, opening with the remarkable assertion that he hasn’t read the book & implies he shouldn’t be expected to. He has read 42 pages starting from p.690 but blames the book, not himself, for the fact these pages don’t give him the full picture.
He concludes that, in essence, no matter what arguments are put forward to support the book, the answer is that it is filthy, and that trumps everything else.
Brian O'Nolan wrote a good deal about James Joyce's "Ulysses", either in his Myles na gCopaleen columns, his non-fiction, or obliquely in his Flann O'Brien novels. For #Ulysses100 this thread shares these pieces, in which he by turns teases, praises & analyses Joyce's masterpiece
Myles often turns to his copy of "Ulysses" when reflecting on topics ranging from foot and mouth disease to the Irish Tourist board, quoting extensively from his favourite passages with commentary ("Note the delicacy of Joyce's ommission of the query mark here") #Ulysses100
In his 22 August 22 1956 column "J.J. & US", Myles na Gopaleen discusses his supposed plans to translate "Ulysses" into Irish #Ulysses100
Σήμερα συμπληρώνονται 100 χρόνια από την έκδοση του ‘#Οδυσσέα’ από τον Ιρλανδό συγγραφέα Τζέιμς Τζόυς. Ο #Τζόυς, ένας αφοσιωμένος φιλέλληνας, επέμεινε ότι το εξώφυλλο έπρεπε να ταιριάζει με το μπλε της ελληνικής σημαίας (που κρεμόταν στο διαμέρισμα του στο Παρίσι).🇬🇷
Καθώς ο εκτυπωτής ήταν αδύνατο να βρει το μπλε μελάνι που να ταιριάζει με την ελληνική σημαία, μόνο δύο αντίτυπα ήταν έτοιμα μέχρι την ημερομηνία δημοσίευσης – 2 Φεβρουαρίου 1922 – 40α γενέθλια του Τζόυς 🎂🎉
Από τα δύο αντίτυπα που ήταν έτοιμα μέχρι την ημερομηνία δημοσίευσης, ο Τζόις πήρε το ένα στους εορτασμούς των 40ων γενεθλίων του. Όταν ο Τζόις άνοιξε τη συσκευασία και είδε τον «#Οδυσσέα» με ελληνικά χρώματα -λευκά γράμματα σε μπλε πεδίο- συγκινήθηκε βαθιά
1/7 Today is the 100th anniversary of the publication of #Ulysses by the Irish writer James Joyce. #Joyce, a committed philhellene, insisted that the cover should match the blue of the Greek flag (which hung in his Paris apartment). 🇬🇷#Ulysses100
2/7 As the printer found it almost impossible to find the blue ink to match with the Greek flag, only two copies of #Ulysses were ready by publication date – 2nd February 1922 - Joyce’s 40th birthday 🎂🎉
