Lecturer in Creative Writing Mary Morrissy was the writer in residence at this year’s Trieste Joyce School (June 30 – July 4). She gave a reading to conference delegates and Joyce scholars from her IMPAC Prize-nominated novel, The Rising of Bella Casey (Brandon) and from Dubliners 100, the Tramp Press centenary collection of short stories featuring new versions of Joyce’s Dubliners. This is the 19^th year of the School in Trieste, where James Joyce lived and worked for over a decade in the early years of the 20^th century.
