The American Ghosts of James Joyce


Join Collegium Institute and Dappled Things for our Spring 2025 online Global Catholic Literature seminar, “The American Ghosts of James Joyce: Resurrecting F. Scott Fitzgerald, J.F. Powers, Flannery O’Connor, Katherine Anne Porter, and Edward P. Jones through Joyce’s Dubliners.”

Better pass boldly into that other world, in the full glory of some passion, than fade and wither dismally with age.

Far from fading with age, James Joyce’s influence on the literary world remains alive and well. Even before his death, James Joyce haunted great American writers with the beauty of his prose. In the latest Lenten season of Global Catholic Literature, we will discuss the literary afterlife of James Joyce’s celebrated short story collection Dubliners as it appears in the stories of five great American Catholic writers: F. Scott Fitzgerald, J.F. Powers, Flannery O’Connor, Katherine Anne Porter, and Edward P. Jones.

Dates: Mondays in March, 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm. Via Zoom.
