Otis: perhaps you don't know that in the new Penguin centenary edition of Ulysses, there is an intoduction by D Kiberd. I've had reason to be killing time round Greene's Bookshop a little lately and I have been dipping into it. I think your sister 's view on him is bang on the money. It's lengthy, b...

LC, love and peace, man! Sorry if I'm being touchy, but I get very hot under the collar about thoughtless language where democracy is concerned. I've seen situations too many times before where a good cause is lost through apparently inconsequential things like thoughtless presumption or arrogance. ...

Rope, as I said in another post, I don't know much about the individual candidates. Anyway, I wouldn't presume to tell a citizen of another sovereign state how to vote. But from the perspective of an outsider who finds Bush and all his attendant baggage a very worrying world commodity, I'd be very e...

In any negotiation there is a vast range of options on both sides. It would be very foolish for anyone to expect their representatives to work out the very best deal, while being denied at least the appearance of having all their options at their disposal. There are problems, serious problems, in th...

An extract from The Irish Times, Saturday August 21st 2004, which may be of interest on this section, reviewing yet another new book on “Ulysses”: “Ulysses Unbound: A Reader’s Companion to James Joyce’s Ulysses”, by Terence Kileen (Wordwell). The review is by Declan Kiberd: The most ingenious – and ...

Yes, it's shocking how easily some people, ok, quite a lot of people, materialise into stereotypes. I reckon most people just want to deal with everyday personal issues and are happy to leave the rest to the ones who are paid to sort it out. Most people have no idea what power they actually have in ...

Actually there IS one, but it costs a holy fortune in Ireland (c. 100 euros) and is 22 CD's long. It's read by Jim Norton with Marcella Riordan. I've heard segments from it and it certainly helps to put shape and make on the text in a very accessible way: it brings out the poetic flow of the text an...

Yeh, but after the gag and weez, the brown gluey sludge and mountain of rancid kitchen roll comes the high, perhaps off the clean oven? But I've always suspected there's somet upper behind all that lemony zing. Perhaps we're on to something here. Should we cut it down into foil packs and head for to...

It may be useful to remember that Mr. Bloom is Jewish, aside from representing sensual Joyce. and this day occurred in Dublin 100 years ago. All of this has a major impact on his commentary, especially within the church scenes. At all times, he is an outsider looking in, which, incidentally, would h...
