    Every year, on June 16th, fans of Irish author James Joyce celebrate “Bloomsday”.
    What is "Bloomsday"?
    Well, Joyce wrote a "modern" novel, Ulysses, which chronicles the events and lives of several Dubliners -- throughout a single day: Thursday, June 16, 1904.
    Considered a 20th century literary masterpiece, many people may have heard of it, but few have finished reading it -- including me!
    Accordingly, we offer for your approval tonight, 3 questions about Joyce's Ulysses.
    Please choose your answers from any of the 3 (reuseable) answers of "A", "B", or "C" (if applicable!) for each of the following question.   
    OK, let's get ready to wonder....

James Joyce & Nora

Question #1: Although Ulysses is set in 1904, Joyce actually didn't start writing it until 1914 (and for the next 8 years) while during a self-imposed exile from Ireland. True or false?
        A. True, or
        B. False.

    He stayed in Ireland until 1904, and in June that year he met Nora Barnacle, the Galway woman who was to become his partner and later his wife.
    ... In October Joyce and Nora left Ireland going first to Pola (now Pula, Croatia) where Joyce got a job teaching English at a Berlitz school.
    After he left Ireland in 1904, Joyce only made four return visits, the last of those in 1912, after which he never returned to Ireland.
    1914 proved a crucial year for Joyce.
    With the start of World War One, Joyce and Nora, along with their two children, Giorgio and Lucia, were forced to leave Trieste and arrived in Zurich where they lived for the duration of the war.
    It was during this time that Joyce worked on Ulysses and included many characteristics of those around him in the characters of the book.

Question #2: Having no particular historical significance, June 16, 1904 was the day that Joyce had the first date with his future wife -- whom he marries 27 years later. What is her name?
        A. Sylvia Beach, or

        B. Nora Barnacle, or
        C. Molly Bloom.

    Ulysses is set in Dublin on June 16, 1904, now celebrated by Joyce’s fans as “Bloomsday.”
    The day has no particular historical significance, except that it was on June 16, 1904 that Joyce had his first date with his future wife Nora Barnacle.
     (Joyce and Nora lived together for twenty-seven years before marrying; Joyce objected to most institutions, including that of marriage, but eventually submitted to it for the sake of his children’s legal status.)

Question #3:  Although Ulysses was published (in book form) in 1922, it was banned from importation into the U.S. until which year?
        A. 1924, or
        B. 1929, or
        C. 1933.

    In 1918, his revolutionary stream of consciousness novel Ulysses began to be serialized in the American journal Little Review.
    However, the U.S. Post Office stopped the publication’s distribution in December of that year on the grounds that the novel was obscene.
    Sylvia Beach, owner of the bookstore Shakespeare and Co. in Paris, where Joyce moved in 1920, published the novel herself in 1922, but it was banned in the U.K. and in the U.S until 1933.
