  • Summary

  • In this episode, we explore James Joyce's groundbreaking novel, Ulysses, published in 1922. Set in Dublin on a single day, June 16, 1904, the story follows three main characters: Leopold Bloom, Stephen Dedalus, and Molly Bloom. Through their intertwined lives, Joyce uses a stream of consciousness technique to delve into themes of identity, love, and existence. We discuss Bloom's journey as a Jewish advertising canvasser, Stephen's struggles as a young artist, and Molly's complex femininity. The novel's rich language and innovative structure mirror Homer's Odyssey, transforming mundane events into profound reflections on the human experience. Join us as we unpack the intricacies of Joyce's masterpiece.
