We stopped at "Fat folds of neck, fat, neck, fat, neck." (Gabler 7.48) (Penguin 149.11)
This episode has a different feel, different look compared to the previous one. It has relatively short sections, with each section having a title, just like a newspaper with sub-headings. It is all about urban life. As we get further into the episode, it becomes quite windy with words, often hollow words. Just like some newspapers!
The episode starts with the heart of Dublin, the clanking of trams on their way before Nelson's pillar. This is followed by a description of activities at the nearby General Post Office. Then we meet Bloom talking to Red Murray, a porter, who cuts out an advertisement (of Alexander Keyes - Bloom was trying to get the ad extended) from a newspaper. As Bloom prepares to leave with the cut out to go to the offices of Evening Telegraph, Red Murray calls his attention to the entrance of Brayden, the editor of the newspaper, Freeman's Journal. As Bloom looks at the stately figure, he thinks of his fat folds of next, fat, neck, fat, neck.
