- It seemed so easy to synopsize this episode! I can do this in 10 minutes...40 minutes later, I realize I need a part 2! Because it's hard? No! Because this is such a fun episode!
I hope you enjoy it as much as I did making this video for you.
Chris
Thank you so much for another amazing video! I really enjoyed this episode and your analysis. Navigating my way through Wandering Rocks, I was particularly moved by Stephen's meeting with Dilly and I feel that I maybe responded to this scene in a slightly different way.
Brilliant explanation of this abstruse chapter. The way it ends is so moving. Compassion from the nun. Thank you so much Chris. Picked up my copy of Ulysses the other day. Bought it in 1986. Never got down to read it until now. It is so much more enjoyable with your comments at the back of my mind. Thanks again!
Interesting - the understatement of the year. I just couldn't stop listening. Thank you.
Can’t believe I have followed your video to chapter ten!
I think you are doing an amazing job helping people to read Ulysses. You seem to be a great guy, besides being so intelligent and a very skilled pedagogue. And so human, funny, sincere. I read the Odyssey before and that helps (it is actually essential) to understand Ulysses, but it would be much harder to enjoy it and get so much out of it if it had not been for your exquisite coaching
I wouldn’t have stuck with Ulysses had it not been for these talks-thank you!
Hi, Chris. Watching your videos after each chapter is making the book so much fun! I've tried and given up on the book in the past but I'm really enjoying it this time. Thanks for making these videos, they're great!
Chris, thank you for your insight in this viedo. You help to show us what really there and what we might have missed. Just love your videos!
Another fantastic video, Chris. Thanks, you are a legend.
I got a laugh out of the part where the Dedaluses are spooning out the soup and one says “we are blessed to have so much of it.” I found that a bit facetious.
Happy St Patricks Day from Dublin Chris. Thanks again for these helpful videos.
Just finished the episode and then watched this video. Thanks for enriching the Ulysses experience!
This was an extremely difficult episode for me to get through. After watching this video (and the bonus), I was able to appreciate it more. I felt like I was reading through a lot of noise to gather little pieces of background. I got the sensation that I, the reader, was wondering 😅 I did pick up on the character intersections and really thought those were neat. Difficult chapter for me, though. Could not have made it past this chapter without your guidance! Thanks again!
Some people in these comments seem to find this chapter easy going. I remember the first time I read Ulysses this was one of the chapters that really blew me off course more than the previous chapters, as I struggle to keep up with and remember all the characters as they go about their business. So for this chapter I'm listening to this video before ploughing into the text.
Very helpful.
On my second run through Ulysses and going through your series again, these recaps and explanations are fantastic
“The Woman in White” was published in 1860.
Thanks Chris, this is so helpful.
Check the tide chart for that day... I'll bet Joyce timed it for high tide which would in effect, slow down or stop the Liffey for an hour or two... Thanks for all the good stuff!
Holy shit that sound effect at the end of your intro was terrifying lmao
