Ulysses

James Joyce, the priest of the eternal imagination,  at the pinnacle.
In this four-part lecture/discussion series, we’ll join Stephen Dedalus and Leopold Bloom in their trek around 1904 Dublin. Along the way, before we meet the wakeful Molly Bloom at journey’s end, we’ll note Joyce’s Homeric parallels, investigate his  displays of technical proficiency, and assess his “scrupulous meanness” in his tour-de-force of artistic virtuosity.
Registrants, prior to the course start date, may view the text of Ulysses at bibliomania.com;  purchase a hard-copy, new or  used,  through an on-line bookseller at a nominal cost; or borrow a copy from the Tucson-Pima Public Library.

When: Thursdays, Mar 18 – Apr 8, 9:30-11:30am
Where: The Windmill Inn, 4250 N. Campbell Ave.
Cost: $89 (4 sessions)
