Conroy's Brief Hiatus

Frequent readers may have noticed that I haven't posted anything new over the last month. There is good reason for this lull. I'm taking a few months to focus on a project that I've been wanting to do for sometime, namely writing a readers guide to James Joyce's Ulysses; a guide for first-time readers who may be intimidated or overwhelmed with the challenges of Joyce's masterpiece. This effort represents something of a passion and requires that I (temporarily) set aside my other writing.

I know this may come as bad news for readers who regularly enjoy my posts, but I hope that you'll keep coming back to the site. I'll occasionally post updates on my progress and my intention is to present at least some of my Ulysses guide on this blog. In the meantime, you may see a post or two from The Man. Please continue to send comments, and if you're so inclined, read some earlier posts (a selection of some of my favorites are linked below).

I look forward to getting back to my blogging in the coming months.

Sincerely,
Conroy
