Frank Delaney's Re: Joyce

Sandymount Strand. Stephen's thoughts: his father's voice editorializes on his mother's family. To illuminate, Frank calls on the Iliad, and Thersites's rant against Agamemnon.

Chapter 3 continues along Sandymount Strand. Wind and waves, Hamlet, and a god of the sea.

Stephen on the nature of the trinity, and the fate of heresiarchs. Contransmagnificandjewbangtantiality.

Still on Sandymount Strand. Stephen ponders his own origins and, for the first time, reflects on his father.

Still on the beach, Stephen muses on Eve, bellybuttons, bucklers, and a good deal of poetry.

Stephen ascribes a crime to the midwife on the beach. A phonecall to the navel of the world.

Chapter 3 returns to "normal" narrative for a moment. Women descend to the sea. Swinburne.

In this bonus episode, Frank describes Joyce's reading list, which owed so much to his Catholic education.

Stephen parses the poetry of his own thoughts, and opens his eyes to see if the the world has persisted. It has.

Stephen's thoughts echo his steps as he walks on shells. Frank digresses on Proust.
