  • We finally get a break from the madness of the evening-sort of. Certainly this episode is a lot more accessible than Circe!
    I would love to hear what you think about this fun chapter. We get another exposition on art from James Joyce.
    If you would like to write me, I can be reached through my business:

    In this age of Zoom virtual education, you are the perfect example of a good man who can lead our poor students who will struggle through the Covid era.....I say this as a retired high school English teacher., who taught for 35 years....I am reading Ulysses as a retirement gift to myself.

    Hi Chris. I wrote this before, but I'll say it again--this has been the most wonderful pandemic project! I've been reading Ulysses and listening to it, and listening to your lectures. And you are a supreme teacher, guide, coach, cheerleader! I love what you have to say. Really feel you've opened the novel up for me, rolled out the red carpet. You give your readers permission to delve in. So much of scholarship, unfortunately, gives one the idea that specialized skills and degrees are required. So thank you. Brilliant.

    Hi Chris. I am an Ukrainian who lives in Belgium. I participate on Joyce project which is organized by the literary channel Armen and Fyodor on RUclips. This project is for russian speaking people who read Ulysses in Russian translation 1 chapter weekly and then we get something like summery of it. I also read each chapter in a Dutch translation because it's the only book I could get in paper version and I listen to the audio version of it in English. My English is not so good to understand everything but it's important for me to hear the melodic of the language. Thanks a lot for your video's. You have done a great job to make Ulysses more understandable and to help people enjoy the greatest and the most complicated (to my opinion) book. Sorry for my English. Greetings

    Hi Chris, from China with thanks! Always heard Ulysses is a great read but man what a hard one and I could not have the courage to read though without chancing upon your video. Such great job and thanks so much for the wonderful job!!

    Now that I, too see only two chapters ahead, I begin to feel like I would if someone close to me is moving far away. Then, joy and excitement return as I anticipate my second read of Ulysses. This time, taking a chapter-or even a few pages at a time and delightling in the language, the scenes and my newly acquired understanding. Oliver

    I was very close to putting this book down after reading Circe but I am so glad I stuck with it. I really enjoyed Bloom and Stephen's interaction and couldn't help but smile at several points during their conversation.

    I had to read Ulysses in a course of my MA, and didn't know how to approach it. Tried different ways, but it was just too 'new' a thing for me to take in. Before finally dropping this course I though of checking out RUclips for encouragements, and there you were.

    I know I'm kinda late, but I've deeply entered the Ulysses universe because of you, I wasn't going to make it alone. Because of your sympathy, because of your knowledge, and mostly because of your passion about creating the videos and understanding the book is what got me so hooked on the story and your lectures about it, a guide in this complex paradise. This book is being a real game changer in my life as a hole, and I don't have words to describe how much I want to thank you for presenting to me such a profound universe created 100 years ago that feels like a story from nowadays. From the bottom of my heart, thank you! Have a great life and keep on making these videos on other books, I'll be glad to keep following you in your literature adventures. Best regards from Curitiba, BR.

    Thank you, Chris for a great analysis of the 16th chapter. I belong to a Joyce study group in Manchester. We meet monthly at the World Irish Heritage Centre. Our next meeting is this Sunday and this is so helpful.
