OK. Just got this. I read the first page. Understood it. Not

I read that as SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSStately plump

>>9182565
The first time I read this I missed the "Stately, plump" part.

Next time they should try to go for a two-page long S.
A one page S just is not enough

It's kind of hard to see

First few chapters are breezy. I think Hugh Kenner (it sounds like him at least) refers to them as the Home style. That's the Telemachiad so those are Ithacan chapters. When you're looking to pin Proteus down and navigate between Scylla and Charybdis you may, in Kenner's understanding, long for your own nostos. The tragedy, of course, is that Stephen wants nothing less than to return to stately, plump Buck Mulligan.

I think you read the next page after that. See how it goes, then give page 3 a shot

I literally did not understand the first page without outside analysis
I didn't realize he was performing a mock sermon

There are people that can figure out what that's supposed to mean? This board does a great job of making me feel like a retard.

Why does my edition have "I" before "stately, plump?" Page one has a giant "I" and the next has "stately, plump." Never seen it in anyone else's.

Smokin Sick Style?

Try reading the rest of the book you fucking pleb.

...Yeah?

Maybe it's just a cultural thing or something, because it's not a hard thing. I mean it's not even something you could find hard. It's not like some faggot who runs four miles every day who says "lol running 400 metres isn't hard", it's like walking from your bedroom to the toilet.

I haven't read much of Ulysses, but I have read the first page or two many times. Very entertaining. "Scrotumtightening sea" gets me every time. I really need to buy a copy of my own and read the whole damn thing.
