James Joyce’s Ulysses: A Talk by Terence Killeen
Terence Killeen is a leading expert on James Joyce and Research Scholar at the James Joyce Centre, Dublin
Terence Killeen, a leading expert on James Joyce, will be discussing the 18 episodes in Ulysses that inspired artist Aidan Hickey’s exhibition ‘Painting Ulysses’, currently showing at the ICC.
Terence will be referencing his well-known book, Ulysses Unbound: A Reader’s Companion to James Joyce’s Ulysses which has been described as ‘an indispensable guide to a modernist classic’, with Colm Tóibín claiming that it connects ‘the world of scholarship to the world of the ordinary reader coming to the book for the first time’.

The exhibition comprises 18 magnificent large-scale paintings, depicting each of the 18 chapters in the novel. This event is a unique opportunity to view Aidan Hickey’s exhibition, while simultaneously learning more about the masterpiece that inspired it!
