The Ulysses Project

James Joyce

(February 1882 - January 1941)

Not much has been going on here at Road Map headquarters. It has been a low-energy week. I have been inching up Mt. Ulysses with Frank Delaney, now on page 18. I know, it does not seem like progress, but you would not believe how much Joyce packs into one line of text. Sometimes into just one word. However, since I do not plan to devote the next year to The Ulysses Project, I will need to speed things up. Delaney's podcast is weekly, and he has about 275 episodes up on his blog, so I can move ahead with resolve until I have caught up with Frank. Then, I will be on my own with whatever commentary I can find to assist.

There is a lot to say but I am going to let it keep until I know more about Joyce and this wonderful book. Note the Aegean Blue cover.  Nothing is simple with Joyce. Think about the waters Ulysses sailed to reach his home in Ithaca.
