Subject: BS: Gulliver in Dublin From: Gulliver Date: 11 Apr 08 - 03:41 PM Gulliver's Travels, by Jonathan Swift, has been chosen for this year's "Dublin: One City, One Book" festival, so there are events relating to it taking place around the city this month (April). More information here and here I just had to mention this! |

Subject: RE: BS: Gulliver in Dublin From: Seán Báite Date: 13 Apr 08 - 06:48 AM Gulliver, Pity the second site doesn't have archive links to the previous bukes featured - at least, I couldn't find one (I think there have been a few, correct me if I'm wrong). Am I right to assume that Dublin's politicians will be conducting themselves in a suitably Lilliputian manner for the forseeable in homage to the bauld Dean ? Naw, hauld on - they do it so well already, they don't even have to try. Eh, Bert ? |

Subject: RE: BS: Gulliver in Dublin From: Gulliver Date: 14 Apr 08 - 02:17 PM Hiya Seán, this is the third year. The book for 2006 was At Swim-Two-Birds, by Flann O'Brien. Last year it was A Long Long Way, by Sebastian Barry. |

Subject: RE: BS: Gulliver in Dublin From: Mrrzy Date: 15 Apr 08 - 07:00 PM ? When did Gulliver travel to Ireland? Were they the brobdigthingies or the lilliputians, and why is the small word so much more memorable than the big one? |
