Get to
know James Joyce this Christmas at Bunclody Library!
Bunclody is in Co Wexford.
This Christmas at
Bunclody Library we are inviting you to read one of Joyce’s short stories
“The Dead”. This short story was
first published in 1907 and tells the story of a married couple who attend an
annual Christmas-season party at the home of two elderly aunts, an evening which
ends in an epiphany for the married couple.
On Thursday the
15th of December at 7pm, we will be showing the acclaimed film adaption of Joyce’s short story. This
film directed in 1987 by John Houston and starring his daughter Angelica and
Donal McGann was nominated for an Academy Award (for Writing Adapted Screenplay)
so it will be a treat for all Joyce fans.
The following week on
Thursday the 22nd of December, multi award winning acclaimed author
Claire Keegan will lead a
discussion on both Joyce’s text and Houston’s film adaption. Come along and share
your views on the text, the film and Joyce in general! Join us for this wonderful two part
opportunity to experience the work of James Joyce as you may never have
before.
