This week we cover the parallels to “Calypso,” the fourth episode of James Joyce’s Ulysses and Book V of Homer’s Odyssey. Topics include how Leopold Bloom and Odysseus are similar, how they’re different since Bloom is really a sideways Odysseus, Bloom as a feminine man, the danger of nostalgia, the Blooms’ many secrets, Molly as a character especially veiled in secrets, so much etymology, the location of Calypso’s island Ogygia, Gibraltar, the color yellow, the fate of the lost city of Atlantis, Blazes Boylan, who should play Blazes Boylan in a theoretical film version of Ulysses, Bannon and his Photo Girl, “Seaside Girls,” and the Bhagavad Gita.
