Frank Delaney's Re: Joyce

In Stephen's classroom, Frank muses on the names of cookies and of boys.

Stephen continues his lesson, and we learn something of both Pyrrhus and Nestor.

We begin Chapter 2, and find Stephen in the classroom with old battles, radical poets, and the daughters of memory.

June 16 is Bloomsday, as well as the one-year anniversary of this podcast.

Mulligan bathes, and Stephen takes his leave. The end of chapter 1.

Gossip at the swimming hole: an unlikely officer, redheads, supermen, and missing ribs.

Stephen, Mulligan, and Haines encounter bathers, and Joyce employs some foreshadowing with news of Mulligan's brother.

Stephen fathoms the depths of both Hell and Dublin Bay, and Frank muses upon T. S. Eliot.

Stephen presents us with a roll call of heresiarchs.

In this bonus episode, Frank discusses the four characters we've met so far, along with their real-life antecedents.

Stephen considers the Church.

Stephen claims to serve three masters.

Haines asks Stephen about a personal god, and Stephen answers - out loud, briefly, and to himself, at great length.

Stephen and Haines share a moment and a smoke.

Mulligan capers, versifies, and blasphemes.

Haines dwells on Hamlet, and we are reminded of the famous sons of that play, the Odyssey, and - of course - the Bible. 

Mulligan plays with paradox, and we get a foreshadowing of Stephen's father.

We learn the price of both a rented tower and a lecture on Hamlet.  

Punctuation obfuscates; but we press on, and find significance in Stephen's walking stick.  

Mulligan is full of contradictions.
