Eddin Khoo offers an unconventional, personal, provocative perspective on Ulysses, looking at the untamed fecundity of Joyce's language and his literary sensibility that was always "wild, untrammelled, free". This lecture also considers the indelible influence of non-Western art and aesthetics on Modernism, and the resonance of Joyce's Ulysses with readers and writers of the tropics, particularly Southeast Asia.
Introduced by HE Hilary Reilly, Ambassador of Ireland to Malaysia.
