On November 6, 2009 I delivered an invited presentation, "Living and Working with Joyce: Texts, Manuscripts, Collections, Collectors," at a University of Zurich symposium celebrating Zurich-James-Joyce-Foundation-director Fritz Senn's receipt of the Golden Medal of Honor of the Canton of Zurich.
My new book, "Ulysses" in Focus: Genetic, Textual, and Personal Views, will be published in the Florida James Joyce Series by the University Press of Florida in 2010.
Two articles are forthcoming:
"The Complex Simplicity of Ulysses." To appear in James Joyce (Visions and Revisions: Irish Writers in Their Time No. 5), edited by Sean Latham. Book to be published by Irish Academic Press in 2009.
"Silence and Fractals: 'The Sisters'." Co-written with Vicki Mahaffey for Collaborative "Dubliners," edited by Vicki Mahaffey. Book to be published by Syracuse University Press in 2010.
I will present a lecture, "The Dance of Composition: Genetic Criticism and the Manuscripts for Joyce's Ulysses," sponsored by the Fund for Irish Studies at Princeton University on February 26, 2010.
I am one of the three Academic Coordinators, along with Louis Armand of Charles University in Prague and David Spurr of the University of Geneva, of the 22nd International James Joyce Symposium - James Joyce 2010 - to be held in Prague, Czech Republic, in June 2010.
In recent years I have received three major honours plus a less serious one:
On Bloomsday (June 16), 2004 I was awarded an honorary D.Litt. degree by the National University of Ireland / University College Dublin along with Roddy Doyle, Jennifer Johnston, Harold Pinter, and Fritz Senn - photos.
In 2006 I was named a Distinguished University Professor at the University of Western Ontario. The award was presented at a ceremony and public lecture on November 24, 2006 - photos.
In 2007 I was elected a Fellow of The Royal Society of Canada (also called RSC: The Academies). The induction ceremony took place on November 17, 2007 in Edmonton, Alberta - photo.
In a lighter vein, as part of the 21st International James Joyce Symposium, which took place in Tours, France in June 2008, I was one of five symposium attendees who became Chevaliers de l’Ordre de la Chantepleure. The induction ceremony took place as part of a wine-tasting ceremony at the Cave des Producteurs de Vouvray on June 18, 2008 - photos.
