The Manolo he completely agrees with the e, that the shoe the Joyce is here describing it sound to the Manolo like the shoe of the mid to the late 1920s, and not the shoe of the 1904.

But, who is the Manolo to question the historical accuracy of the literaray genius on such the minor point?

I love it! The Manolo introduces the young super-fantastic shoe lovers to James Joyce. A whole celebration for Joyce here in Philly today at the Rosenbach Museum & Library. The manuscript for Ulysses is here.

The happiest of the Bloomsday to you, the Manolo!

“Quick warm sunlight came running from Berkeley Road, swiftly, in slim sandals, along the brightening footpath. Runs, she runs to meet me, a girl with gold hair on the wind.”

This, it is the reason why I am in love with the Manolo–your ability to marry canon with pop culture. I never congratulated you on your 2,000,000 hits–congratulations! You are truly one of the coolest people I (internet) know.
