Hi, thanks for this post. The photo was taken by Eve Arnold – and Marilyn’s copy of Ulysses was auctioned by Christie’s a few years back.

Also, just remembered that Marilyn rehearsed Molly Bloom’s monologue from Ulysses for an acting exercise. No idea if she read it all – and I haven’t – but she was certainly familiar with the text.

Thanks for the background on the picture. Marilyn Reading Joyce gets to go on the list of Things I Really Want To Be True.
