It is all about one day. Readers found it profound, pointless, brilliant and maddening (or perhaps all four at once). Ulysses was the lodestar of the modern era, exerting an enormous influence on writers from Virginia Woolf to David Foster Wallace. The novel celebrates the mundanity of life, but there is much method to it, and in our seminar we will seek to uncover this as we detect meanings residing beneath the constant swirl of ideas, memories and instincts. The reward is what Hemingway called “a most goddam wonderful book.”
This seminar is for the Ulysses novice, but will challenge the veteran as well. Over eight sessions we’ll examine the Byzantine imagination of Joyce. Using Ulysses Annotated, John will assist the group with identifying the most significant of the thousands of obscure references so readers can focus on the behemoth that is 16 June 1904 in Dublin, Ireland.
