An exclusive QPBF event celebrating a new BBC documentary on Joyce’s masterpiece
This year marks the centenary of first publication in Paris of James Joyce’s landmark Modernist novel (which remained banned in the UK and US for years afterwards). Martin Rosenbaum and Adam Low have produced a documentary, James Joyce’s Ulysses, which will be broadcast this autumn in BBC2’s Arena programme. Here they will talk to Womens’ Prize-winning novelist Eimear McBride about the history, difficulty and sheer prodigality of this great novel, and show clips from their film.
