Next Wednesday is the centenary of the fictional day on which Joyce’s *Ulysses* is set. There are various events to mark it, including several by the National Library of Ireland which figures in the book. 

> The Library episode, ‘Scylla and Charybdis’, in which Stephen Dedalus meets the librarians of 1904 and presents his theories about Shakespeare, will be the subject of a short film by Alan Gilsenan, which will show how Joyce went about fictionalising reality, not necessarily to the advantage of the ‘real’ characters portrayed. \[[James Joyce and Ulysses at the National Library of Ireland](https://www.nli.ie/joyce/joyce%5Ftext.htm?ref=lorcandempsey.net)\]

This is part of a much wider [Rejoyce Dublin](https://www.rejoycedublin2004.com/?ref=lorcandempsey.net) programme of events.
