    Meet exhibition curator Melanie Micir and get the inside scoop on the Rosenbach's latest James Joyce-themed exhibition: Exile Among Expats! Melanie will introduce you to key aspects of the exhibition and be on hand to answer questions as you explore the exhibition further. What is the exhibit about? This multimedia exhibition illustrates two entwined stories: Joyce during his Paris years and Paris during its Joyce years. How did Joyce—an Irish exile, a devoted family man, a sequestered literary genius—influence the cosmopolitan avantgarde of the Left Bank? How did the tastes and trends of interwar Paris surface in Joyce’s late work? Why did Joyce come to Paris for a weeklong visit and wind up staying for twenty years? This exhibition will address these questions and more in order to demonstrate the debt Joyce owed to Paris and the bounty Paris received in return. Highlights include pages from the manuscript to Ulysses, Man Ray’s iconic photographic portrait of Joyce, selections from Ezra Pound’s Islands of Paris report in The Dial, and a first edition of Ulysses smuggled out of Paris for Dr. Rosenbach in 1922.
