Led by Joyce Society Treasurer, Glenn Johnston, the JJS presents its second walking tour on Joyce and New York City.

No RSVP necessary; just show up!

Many people associated with James Joyce lived on the Upper West Side or in Morningside Heights, including composer George Antheil, who once lived above Shakespeare & Co in Paris; Padraic and Mary Colum, who co-wrote Our Friend James Joyce; Morris Ernst, the lawyer who won the 1933 Ulysses case; F. Scott Fitzgerald, who greatly admired Joyce; BW Huebsch, who first published A Portrait; Helen Kastor, wife of Giorgio and mother of Stephen Joyce; patron John Quinn, who briefly owned the Ulysses manuscript; Ulysses pirate Samuel Roth; and artist Patrick Tuohy, who did portraits of Joyce and his father. The tour will explore their relationships with Joyce and with each other, and some related events that took place in the neighborhood.

Meet at The Hungarian Pastry Shop (1030 Amsterdam Ave.) at 4:30 pm for a 5 pm departure.

Glenn Johnston was educated at Trinity College Dublin and has had a varied career, including stints with the United Nations and in the fields of intelligence and risk consulting. He has been an avid collector of works by and about Joyce for 25 years.
