Colum McCann's tribute to Joyce


Colum McCann,  Irish-American novelist of distinction, has penned a superb tribute to Joyce in the Irish Times, 'The Home Place: Coming home'.

What Joyce would make of becoming a new form of communion ritual can only be imagined. What McCann has to say about his friend's intention and desire to read Ulysses  is moving, as is his way of sending off his friend.  Hope you enjoy it.

Thanks, Rita Crispin, for alerting me to it.
