The 2025 Dedalus Lecture, an annual lecture held at MoLI on Bloomsday, 16 June, was delivered by the novelist, essayist and critic Naoise Dolan. In her lecture, titled ‘The Exophonic Ulysses’, Dolan will wove insights about multilingualism with an understanding of Joyce as a linguist – his love of Italian, French and Latin, and his more fraught relationship with Irish, before offering a broader reflection on adventures in multilingual writing.2Naoise Dolan is an Irish writer born in Dublin. She studied at Trinity College, followed by a master's in Victorian literature at Oxford. She writes fiction, essays, criticism and features for publications including the London Review of Books, the Guardian and Vogue. Dolan’s debut novel Exciting Times was published by W&N in the UK and by Ecco in the US in 2020, and became a Sunday Times bestseller, widely translated and optioned for TV. She has been shortlisted and longlisted for several prizes, including the Women's Prize for Fiction, the Dylan Thomas Prize and the Sunday Times Young Writer of the Year Award. Dolan’s second novel The Happy Couple was published in 2024.
