A new Ulysses reading group is taking shape that will use social media to lead readers through a year-long examination of the book. Called Big Reads: Ulysses, it has been organized by James Mansfield and N. Quentin Woolf and is described as “strictly non-academic” and organized “in a spirit of exploration.”
The group will broadcast its meetings as monthly podcasts and anyone interested is welcome to join the conversation through the group’s Twitter feed @bigreads and Facebook page. It promises to be an interesting experiment that JJQ will follow with interest and perhaps review in its print columns. The first meeting is scheduled for 1 February and will cover the first three episodes. Participation is free and open so anyone interested is welcome to follow along and jump into the conversation.
