Sir, – James Joyce described a bewildered student who knew not the answer to a question: “The boy’s blank face asked the blank window.”
As we move into the second 100 years of Ulysses, can we look forward to seeing selections from the book on the English programmes at Junior and Leaving Cert level?
– Yours, etc,

Sir, – Contrary to popular opinion it was not necessary to travel to Belfast to buy a copy of Ulysses. I bought one in the Eblana bookshop in Grafton Street in 1961.
I don’t think it was actually banned in the Republic, although difficult to obtain.
The Eblana was a wonderful bookshop.
