Frank Delaney's Re: Joyce

Mulligan is full of contradictions.

We have a bit of a breather while Stephen and Buck debate what, if anything, Stephen's aphorisms are worth.

Stephen's inner voice, a presumption of remorse, and a few words on Ireland's climate.

Literature and lore in Joyce's Dublin.

In a rare uncomplicated passage, milk is measured, and Frank describes the various types of junkets.

Levels of respect: for women, doctors, and the Irish language.

Frank Delaney offers a special surprise in honor of James Joyce's Birthday.

The old woman carries, not just milk, but an allegory of Ireland herself - at least in the eyes of both Stephen and Joyce himself.

More scholarship of folklore. The milk arrives, and its bearer is mocked by Mulligan and venerated by Stephen.

Mulligan gets mythic, and mocks exactly the sort of thing this podcast is doing.
