Purty book

1922's Ulysses by some no-name hack is the most valuable novel of the 20th C.

Joyce and bad words.

Swearing for swearing's sake is not part of Joyce's aesthetic, "legitimate" or otherwise: anyone who appreciates Joyce's economy of language senses this instinctively, but there are any number of examples of "bad word" usage clearly not presented to win huzzahs from the sweaty-palmed reader. There is a pair of examples, in fact, which both ably demonstrate a similar scheme of swearing and represent climactic moments in the thematic struggle with illicit language.

The greatest Christmas story ever is...
"The Dead"?

Joyce was just 25 when he wrote the story, and Huston 80 when he filmed it, but the intentions of the self-imposed Irish exile and the American émigré who adopted Ireland were not dissimilar. Both the youthful writer and the aging filmmaker were coming to terms with their ambivalence toward both their families and Ireland; both gave themselves over to moments of reverie about home, family and the Christmas holiday (though, actually, the story is set on Jan. 6, 1904, on the Feast of the Epiphany -- the last of the 12 days of Christmas) that aren't to be found anywhere else in their work.

One "strange-eyed whore"? £240,800

Getting her to fart in your face? Priceless.

Shocking News!

Stephen Joyce considers legal action to stop sale of James's love letter (though, I don't know how much love was involved when he called Nora "a strange-eyed whore" and basically wanted her to fart in his face...)

Irish Wanking

Dismissive, but at least different, article* about the origins of Bloomsday.

Lost Me When You Lost the Commas...

Is the cottage industry around Ulysses greater than the book itself?

Is “Ulysses” as great as its reputation suggests? Some of its 18 episodes are so bizarre that they might have been written in a secret code, but the narrative becomes compelling; the language is sharp and brilliantly coloured. Reading it is hard work, but the book is not inaccessible. It helps, though, to have a good guide.

Some think the best way to approach it is back to front, starting with the silent monologue of Molly Bloom, Leopold's wife, and then turning back to Bloom's catechism in the penultimate episode. Mrs Bloom's thoughts stream powerfully through her consciousness for 25,000 unspoken words, without any punctuation at all. In her soliloquy she contemplates Bloom's flawed character, their unhappy marriage, her lovers, men's frailty and women's vulnerability. Her memories are saturated with eroticism.

My eyes still glaze over at the mere mention of no "punctuation at all." (From Literary Saloon)
