Ulysses Ep. 17 Ithaca: “Mellow yellow smellow melons”

Listen Later

Wendy leads Eric and Shinjini through a discussion of the second half of “Ithaca,” the penultimate episode of Ulysses. They discuss: 

  • The differences between the episode’s two halves

  • Parsing difficult passages

  • The what and why of some of Bloom’s actions

  • The events of Molly’s tryst with Blazes Boylan

  • And Molly and Bloom’s sex lives and marriage.

    • Please pardon the occasional dryer noise in the background. It fades quickly after its first appearance.

    Mentions:

    • Vicki Mahaffey, The Everyday Joyce (forthcoming)

    • My Dad Wrote a Porno

      • Libations:

      • Eric: Voodoo Ranger (imperial IPA, New Belgium Brewing Company, Asheville, NC)

      • Wendy: Old Crafty Hen (strong ale, Greene King/Morland Brewery, Abingdon, UK)

      • Shinjini: an unspecified chocolate milkshake thing
