February 11
We start this year's reading with Chapter 6, Hades.
This is one of our favorite chapters.
We listen to the Naxos audio book, and might have a copy of Ulysses open while we listen.
A few key phrases stand out - "trenchant rendering," "that Mulligan cad," "be good to Athos, Leopold."
The whole chapter is most memorable for the visual imagery it provokes - the carriage ride, which gives us a tour of Dublin, and the funeral itself, which introduces many characters and gives us a glimpse of customs around death and funerals.
