Readers’ journeys through Ulysses

Available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and Pocket Casts.

Episode 15: Circe

In this hallucinatory episode, in which everything that has happened up to this point in Ulysses is reimagined, Bloom and Stephen wander in “Nighttown,” Joyce’s version of the red-light district of Dublin. We talk about confusion, hilarity, gender roles, obscenity, and redemption. Joining us are Kelly Bryan from the Blooms & Barnacles podcast, John McCourt, professor at University of Macerata, Italy, and Ronan Crowley, postdoctoral researcher at Aarhus University, Denmark.
