Marilyn Monroe

It's Bloomsday. The day that fans of James Joyce's Ulysses celebrate the author and his book.

The entire book takes place over the course of one day, June 16, 1904.

The reason Joyce chose June 16, 1904, is because that is the day when he first met the love of his life,  Nora. He met her where she was working, which was in a hotel.

Happy Bloomsday, everyone.

Sigh.

"... her name was like a summons to all my foolish blood." – JameS Joyce
