Yes, fellow bookworms, I am 80 yrs old today and currently rereading,
God knows why, the "Kate Fansler" academic mysteries of Amanda Cross. In
sequence. Most recently *The James Joyce Murder* which makes the nice
point that *Dubliners* is no more than a Bloomless *Ulysses* and thus
something of an empty container. There is the suggestion that *Ivy Day
In The Committee Room* rather than *The Dead* is the best of the bunch.

Happy birthday, Francis.

And yes, I sort of made the same observation without the
prompting of Amanda Cross, but more from reading Ellmann
who after all was a specialist in Dubliners.
