Sir, – Your supplement celebrating James Joyce (Freedom of Joyce, February 2nd) is a glowing example of the best modern journalism. Further to Sam Slote's article on Joyce translations, a translator in Poland has been rendering Finnegans Wakeinto Polish. This heroic labour took 10 years to complete and it will be published this year. The Irish Polish Society, the Irish Writers Centre and Irish Translators Association hope to bring Krzysztof Bartnicki to Ireland this year – "from swerve of shore to bend of bay" will never sound the same again. – Yours, etc,
Sir, – Congratulations on the interesting supplement on James Joyce (February 2nd). However , I was disappointed that there was no reference to John Ryan, the founder of the Bloomsday Pilgrimage and also the saviour of the Eccles Street door. – Yours, etc,
