Last Self-Promo

Reason writer around town: In case you just couldn't get enough of my Bloomsday reconsideration, I wrote a couple related stories: for the San Francisco Chronicle on Ulysses' academic legacy, and for the Boston Globe on its pop culture legacy. And here's a long review of the new movie. And now, having done my bit for the old man, I'm off literary matters—at least until Odgen Nash's 102nd birthday celebration rolls around.

Aw, Tim, you don't have to promote yourself. Look how much cyber-ink Slate gives you in today's Summary Judgment:

'But Reason's Tim Cavanaugh must deserve some kind of award for chutzpah: He managed to write no less than three different lengthy appreciations of the book, for Reason, the Boston Globe, and the San Francisco Chronicle. While the broad outline of each piece is the same?"Ulysses is enjoying a healthier life as an item of popular culture than it ever did as a literary masterpiece"?somehow Cavanaugh manages to avoid repeating himself in the particulars (well, almost).'

So why aren't you in Dublin with Jesse, then?
