>"Troy" after Schliemann was no longer a dream, but a place on the map.

>As a boy, not long after Schliemann's death, [Joyce] had responded to Lamb's retelling of the story. By 1906 he wanted to write a story of his own, set in Dublin and called "Ulysses." Eight years later he was seriously at work on what he had rethought as a larger project, a book whose hero should move around a single city as Homer's had moved around the Mediterranean.

we're putting together a Ulysses reading group over on /lit/ chat at https://discord.gg/01016TZPAPUILvYGe

we have the #Ulysses channel, and also a #general channel for general literary/off-topic discussions. "/soc/ing" is not a "thing" in this chat if you are worried about that, and we're all fairly decent ppl, so give it a shot at least.

(if you don't have a copy of Ulysses, wow, what a pleb. you can get the epub/kindle version from one of us.)

Ulysses isn't some kind of pat on the back for knowing all the references, it can be read purely for the sounds of the prose

So wrong. You really only need to have read the Portrait. Otherwise, having a Linati schema and the Wikipedia article on the Odyssey ready to hand will do just fine.

I recommend having a copy of the Gifford Annotated as well, and if you're bad at reading in general, the Blamires "Bloomsday Book," which summarizes the action of each episode. It's ok to admit you're bad at reading, btw. Most people are before they finish Ulysses.
