Tuesday , 4 July 2017, Aeolus, Episode 7

Today we completed Aeolus, episode 7.

The next episode starting on 11 July will be Lestrygonians. 

It is an episode in which there are multiple references to food. In between feelings of hunger, passing many eating places, having lunch, Bloom will be assailed by thoughts of Molly and Boylan. The episode also underscores various facets of Bloom - as a caring, empathetic person, as a person who always seeks for explanations to his questions, as a person who is an outsider in Dublin's society. 

News: On a new blog, Reading Ulysses with Fritz Senn, I have posted the summary of Aeolus based on the blog posts I wrote when I was attending the readings. Summaries of the following episodes will be made available in due course. It is actually a work in progress.
