“First read the Dubliners and Portrait of an Artist as a young man. Then go to about 12 years of catholic school, and pay attention. Then learn the story of the Odyssey and the Wikipedia page of Irish Republicanism. Then visit Dublin for about a week and just walk around the river Liffey in the center, and revisit the Dubliners and Portrait. Then read the 1st chapter of Ulysses. You won’t understand anything yet- it’s ok. Write down the words you don’t know (15-20 per chapter, maybe more if you haven’t read books from this period before). About half the words you don’t know will be in the dictionary, the other half won’t. After the chapter, read the Oxford annotation to recognize the symbolism, and to some extent, the plot. Then check your unknown word list to see if any of them are in the Errata. Some will be as there as there are a lot of typos and text in the original that Joyce later tried to fix. Then listen to this podcast for that chapter to let it all sink in and give your brain a rest. Repeat for the next chapter. If you do all that, you still won’t really understand it but you’ll get the gist of it.”

“This is a fantastic playing of Ulysses.
It’s a very difficult book but this brings it to life in all its humour.
For anyone trying to read Ulysses this is essential !”
