by JAMES JOYCE Oxen of the Sun a reading by the RTE PLAYERS
16 June is Bloomsday,
-the date on which Joyce set the events of his great novel. From early this morning. RTE, the Irish broadcasting service, has been celebrating his centenary with a dramatic reading of the whole book. Radio 3 joins the broadcast for the hospital sequence. It is 10.0 pm. A gang of medical students are busy in drunken revelry; Mrs Purefoy is delivered of a baby boy; Leopold Bloom decides to protect
Stephen Dedalus from the dangers of the night.
The author, meanwhile, displays his brilliance in parody.
Director WILLIAM STYLES
