The last few years, we have hosted online reading groups focused on Ulysses (2022), Dubliners (2023) and Portrait (2024). Next up, we’ll be reading Exiles together to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the play’s first performance in English– which took place in NYC! Meetings will be February 11 and 18. Stay tuned for more details.

Join our reading group for A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man! Open to all, regardless of your experience reading Joyce.

The Finnegans Wake Society of New York

The Finnegans Wake Society of New York was founded on the fiftieth anniversary of James Joyce’s death, 13 January 1991, when it held its first meeting at the historic Gotham Book Mart in New York City. Since then it has had many homes, and currently resides online, where it meets on Zoom. Generally meetings involve a close reading and discussion of a single page of the Wake. Newcomers welcome: no experience necessary!
