James Joyce Summer School

Has anyone here attended the JJ Summer Schools in either Dublin or Trieste? I'm planning to go to the Dub one in July 2013 (they aren't holding it this summer b/c of the International JJ Symposium, which is taking place there).

I'd be interested to hear about what it's like! It sounds amazing and I've wanted to attend since they first started them (late 80s??). I'm so excited that I finally can! :banana: (WHY is that not a dancing potato??? WHY!????) Any and all info welcome!

By all means, do it. I'm not sure which scholars conduct the Dublin summer school, but I'm sure that Sam Slote is involved. He's brilliant and very approachable and fun to talk to. I had the pleasure of presenting a piece at the International JJ Symposium this summer, and it was definitely one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. If Fritz Senn is on board in Dublin, you owe it to yourself to go. It's absolutely amazing to listen to him discuss Joyce.
