Slow down, read closely, think and discuss - that's what we are asking you to do in this club. For banned book week, Debbie Challis has chosen a few passages from James Joyce's Ulysses. Turn off your smart phones, step away from the hectic pace of life, and discuss words.

Dr Debbie Challis is Creative Producer of the Portico Library and a cultural historian with an expertise on the reception of classical antiquity in the nineteenth century. She is currently researching and writing about the life of a mid Victorian female artist called Mary Severn.
