Bloomsday is planning to run another more advanced course on Joyce after Bloomsday. Possibly July or August. It will focus on the more experimental chapters and build on the understandings of the first course. Not quite sure of the format yet, and whether the 6 hour marathon is the best option. I love it, but it may not suit everyone. I'm reminded by patrons that some participants come from interstate, so it would certainly suit them better to do the 6 hour option, or perhaps 2 x 3 hr sessions, rather than a more spread out format. Opinions hereby canvassed.
Meanwhile, for those junkies who can't get enough, I've elected to run a short course at U3A in Melbourne beginning on 20 April, so Friday week. It will be more relaxed, and be delivered in six 2-hour sessions on Fridays 2-4pm in the central city. I'm planning for it to be interactive and responsive to where readers are at with the novel, and I've not yet met the students or got their measure, so have not yet settled on absolute shape of the course. If you're eligible (a U3A member already), I understand there are a few places left. You can book by phoning 96395209. Bookings essential.
Re-Joycing again.
