A day in the life of Leopold Bloom, whose odyssey through the streets of turn-of-the-century Dublin leads him through trials that parallel those of Ulysses on his epic journey home.
bokai: The Bloomsday Book is a book length summary of James Joyce's Ulysses. It informs the reader of the general plot, of particular references in Ulysses to events in other books (most usually Dubliners)and includes a minimum of commentary, usually focusing on the religious aspects of the novel. For someone reading Ulysses with a limited knowledge of Joyce, Ireland, or Catholicism, this book may be the deciding factor in their enjoyment of the novel itself.… (mais)
drasvola: This book is a graphic narration of Joyce's life. It's in Spanish. Very well done and informative about Joyce's troubled relation with society, his work and family relationships.
Riuscirà Stephen Dedalus a trovare l'ispirazione, il proprio pubblico, una figura paterna e un po' di pace spirituale? Riuscirà Leopold Bloom a riconquistare il talamo nuziale, la paternità perduta e il cuore della propria infedele, eppur saggia, moglie? Riuscirà il nostro Leopold almeno a tornare a casa dopo una giornata di avventure per le strade della Dublino di inizio secolo? Riusciranno i due uomini ad incontrarsi fortuitamente? Soprattutto, cosa ne pensa Molly Bloom?
Will Stephen Dedalus find his inspiration, his public, his lost spiritual father, his peace of mind? Will Leopold Bloom reconquer his nuptial talamus, his lost paternity and the heart of his unfaithful yet trustworthy wife? Will he make it home after a day's adventure up and down the streets of 1904 Dublin? Will the two men succeed in fortuitously meeting each other? More than anything else, what does Molly Bloom think of all this?
Find it out through 682 pages of fun, spelling puns & plays on words, literary criticism, stage play, nursery rhymes, many deaths plus one birth, cathechism, interior monologues, journalistic scandals, ghostly apparitions, sex, drugs and light opera music, brothels and brawls, and meet the Dubliners (nearly all of them, indeed)!
This time, I read the Italian translation at the same time, and The Bloomsday Book. Much satisfaction! I won't add my unrequested farty opinion to the flood of words written on the subject. Let me just share my experienced Bloomer's tips: stop thinking about how descouraging Ulysses is, and try to enjoy. If (when) you don't understand, seek for help by a companion book. If you get the idea that there is more it than you can actually understand at the moment, well, you are probably right. It simply means that, one day, you will read it again after some research. Or maybe not.
And, yes, it's forbiddingly difficult at moments. It's literature, baby, and there's nothing you can do about it. ( )
I like to pretend sometimes that I know what on Earth is going on in this novel, and I feel so proud of myself in these rare moments. It's a little known fact that you're IQ actually increases when you think about reading this novel, let alone trying to read it. And if you do try to read it (because you can only ever try), you can actually feel the sprouting of brain cells inside your head. Just be careful not to push yourself too far at once though, or you might end up with brain aneurysm. Happy reading! ( )

As we, or mother Dana, weave and unweave our bodies, Stephen said, from day to day, their molecules shuttled to and fro, so does the artist weave and unweave his image.... In the intense instant of imagination, when the mind, Shelley says, is a fading coal, that which I was is that which I am and that which in possibility I may come to be. So in the future, the sister of the past, I may see myself as I sit here now but by reflection from that which I then shall be.
