Eric and Shinjini discuss “Lestrygonians,” a chapter they neither love nor hate. But they still have a lot to talk about even for a chapter that they are not super enthusiastic about. They talk about Bloom’s friendship with various other Dubliners, what he is having for lunch, and whom he is mysteriously running away from. As always they also talk about the chapter’s experimental style (or lack thereof). We should warn you that you might develop a sudden craving for a gorgonzola sandwich after listening to this episode!

Ulysses Ep. 9: Scylla and Charybdis: "The quaker librarian purred" with Charlie Bennett

Three friends, and an occasional guest, talk about the fun bits of James Joyce's Ulysses over a beer, episode by episode. In each episode, we—Eric, Wendy, and Shinjini—will explore the parts of Ulysses we love, the parts we hate, and the parts we are downright confused by. Love it. Hate it. Don’t Get it. Grab a beverage and join us!
