Scríobh mé agaibh faoi gníomhaíocht seo ní fada ó shin as Gaeilge anseo. Ar feadh an mhí seo caite, chuala mé "Cinmhíol an Chuilb Mar Óganach" a chum Seosamh Seoighe ag léithe le Jim Norton. Bhí maith liom seo go leor.
Mar sin, lean mé leis {bíonn siad i gcónaí} "i mBaile átha Cliath" seo chugainn. Ar ndóigh, bhí brea liomsa seo freisin ann. Tá Norton léitheoir idéalach chomh de thógail na háite seo.
Rúgadh agus tógadh Norton ina siopa grósaerí ina tSráid Grafton in aice leis an sean-ceantar Giúdach fós. D'fhoghláim sé chanúintí áitiúilaí. Fhreastail é scóil leis na Bráithre Críostaí i lár na cathrach, fósta.
Ina theannta sin, chríochnaigh Norton i 2004 "Ulysses" go iomhlán. Tá sé fiche a seacht an chloig ar fiche a do dioscaí ann. Ba mhaith liom a cloisteáil seo a luaithe, go nádúrtha. Coinnighí an airdeall, leanúna dílis.
Hearing two books by Joyce.
I have been hearing various books recently. While driving, I listened to different audio-books. I go to my work place and I come back to my house often, on a long way.
I wrote about this activity not long ago in Irish here. During the past month, I heard "Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man" by James Joyce read by Jim Norton. I liked this a lot.
Therefore, I followed this with (the people living in)"Dublin" {~"Dubliners"?} next. Of course, I loved this too. Norton's an ideal reader as a native of this place.
Norton was born and raised in a grocer's shop on Grafton Street near the old Jewish quarter also. He learned various dialects. He attended school with the Christian Brothers in the city center, too.
Furthermore, Norton finished in 2004 the whole of "Ulysses." It's twenty-seven hours on twenty-two discs. I would love to hear this soon, naturally. Keep alert, loyal followers!
