Podcasting in a spirit of scrupulous awesomeness
This podcast about Ulysses (and its accompanying blog) is a pleasure I look forward to each week like a regular meet-up with my best friend. Each week, Kelly and Dermot invite us into a conversation that is warm, welcoming, and fun all while providing thought-provoking and enlightening insights about this amazing and inexhaustible marvel of a book. They really have worked magic here--the content they deliver is consistently excellent, and diverse -- they orient the listener clearly and efficiently so that a beginner going at this book for the first time will find significant value here. And yet they dive deeply enought to provide genuinely surprising revelations or new perspectives for the intermediate or advanced reader of Joyce. That is not easy, especially with this subject. They go about their business in what seems like a casual, unfussy way, making the difficult look easy, perhaps. I can tell that significant effort goes into this project, and I am grateful to them for it.

It’s hard to imagine a more detailed or a more loving exposition of Ulysses. Line by line, paragraph by paragraph, Kelly and Dermot work their way through this magnificent novel, filling in the background and teasing out the nuances. Lots of sidebars, like how to support Sweny’s, where Bloom...Read full review »
