I have read i Ulysses and have gone back several times to read sections of it. It’s just astounding. When I was working at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival and also the Denver Center Theatre I would attend their Bloomesday Celebration. I was able to hear fine actors and other members of the communities read portions of Ulysses and Finnegan’s Wake which is a much more difficult book. Those recitations were great fun and often hilarious and helpful for me to get a clearer view of Joyce’s writing. Thanks for your observations Tosh.
May I also suggest (whenever you have time) that you take a look at our friend, writer and professor Eckhard Gerdes, who writes experimentally, publishes “The Journal of Experimental Fiction,” and who is also a big fan of Joyce. He wrote a volume called “The Chronicles of Michel du Jabot,” a 700 or so page long homage to Joyce and to language (among other books). Your post inspires me to pick up one of these books!

This is a wonderful project!

I haven’t dared yet but I’m gonna need the verge.
