Ulysses Reading Group

The Ulysses readings with Fritz Senn are held on Thursdays 5-6 pm at the Zurich James Joyce Foundation, Augustinergasse 9, 8001 Zurich. (At present, the group is hosted by Martin Mühlheim, interim.)

New readers are always welcome! There is no need to sign up. Simply drop in with your own copy of the book, if you have one. 

The reading groups are sponsored by the Friends of the Foundation so that they can be held free of charge. To contact the Friends or become a supporting member please email friends@joycefoundation.ch.
