To scan Joyce’s works for traces of kitsch was probably a novelty.

A soirée chez Dorothea Isler, following a boat trip on the Lake of Zurich, added musical samples. Teresa Mitchell from Dublin gave some spectacular readings on stage. It was also an occasion to introduce the incomparable Amanda Ros to Joyce scholars.

Participants: Harald Beck, H.W. Gabler, Hansruedi Isler, Frank Kearful, Claus Melchior, Georges Sandulescu, Ulrich Schneider. A break on Wednesday afternoon with the boat trip on the Lake and an open air meal at Dorothea Isler’s prealpine home (with swimming pool) has become a workshop fixture.
