Deputy Ambassador Mullen is a former academic who taught James Joyce at Queen’s University, Belfast.

On Wednesday, June 19th, the Kiran Nadar Museum of Art, in collaboration with Embassy of Ireland in New Delhi, Shaw’s Corner, and Mayank Austen Soofi (Delhiwalla, Delhi’s own Joycewalla), celebrates a special evening dedicated to a dramatics reading of Joyce’s seminal work Ulysses. This event marks the 120th Anniversary of one of literature’s most celebrated novels, chronicling the experiences of three Dubliners over the course of a single day, 16 June 1904.
