Show notesThis is the reading of vignettes #13-19 of Wandering Rocks. #13 features Stephen, #16 Buck Mulligan and it concludes with #19, one of Russell's favourite passages in the book. Penguin Classic: p. 310 Gabler (can't believ
Show notesRussell, on location at the seaside, considers vignettes 2-12. Highlights include meeting Blazes Boylan in #5, #6 is largely in Italian, Bloom makes an appearance in #10 and Russell even makes a bold claim for some origi

Show notesWe conclude our analysis of Scylla & Charybdis, a very tricky chapter but somehow we get through it. We may now consider ourselves experts not only in Ulysses but in Shakespeare's entire oeuvre! Yeah, right.. Penguin Cla
