Bloomsday in Pretoria

In Ulysses, Leopold Bloom wandered around Dublin on 16 June. Readers across the world felt they knew the city as a living and breathing place.

That is the kind of portrait of Joburg we want to promote. To look at JoBurg city as a place just as worthy of literary focus, just as complex, real, and poetic.

Readings from Ulysses in English, isiZulu, French, German and Dutch.

Discussion on writing the city with Ivan Vladislavić, Terry-Ann Adams. Anthony Akerman talks about reading Ulysses in South Africa.

Join after for sundowners and a harvest table in the newly renovated Barbican penthouse.
