Apologize

It's available in several languages. Though really, I wish wordsworth was printing it with a cover like pic related. I already have a better copy but I'd by that one just as a novelty item.

Good to have you back, son.

It's not even in the right order and he didn't post the one with the traditional autistic put downs of each book.

the plot is very mundane in terms of the linear sequence of events.

there are, of course general parallels to the Odyssey in the thematic undertones that parody or recontextualize the hero's journey or the notion of the epic, but more than that there is a very complex portrait to be put together as you begin to understand who Bloom and Stephen are, their backgrounds and their personalities, and the ways they may relate to one another.

there is obviously the Odysseus/Telemachus theme and the Hamlet/ghost dad theme that are more literary, but at the core Bloom is trying to grapple with the existential meaning of his life in the face of his dead son Rudy and Stephen is looking for a personal/national/existential/heroic paternal presence against which to react and through which to contextualize his sense of having had his natural identity usurped

it's a really complex and at times quite touching/awkward/tragic relationship they are pursuing through one another as they repeatedly pass and slowly work their presence into the psyche each other

IJ is the least justified entry on the meme trilogy, Ulysses and GR are wholly deserving of monolith status.

Suck a dick, partner.

You first, fag ;^)

w2c pig costume?

I'm on chapter 16 of Ulysses and im getting kind of bored. It seems like the chapter is just giving more of the same and it lacks the fun (gimmicks) of the previous chapters. Does anyone feel this way or should I just get smarter

i think at this part it gets as sad as it was funny
