Description
What do you get if you cross two nerds and a librarian? A very funny, very engaging, and very long episode of tipsyturvy Ulysses.
Our special guest, public engagement librarian at Georgia Tech, Charlie Bennett joins us to talk about the library episode Scylla and Charybdis. Charlie, a new reader of Ulysses, reflects on the accuracy of Joyce’s depiction of librarians and both the pleasures and pains of Joyce’s intentionally difficult, beautiful writing.
This episode, like Ulysses itself, is long but it’s totally worth it.
Libations
Charlie: gin & tonic, Bombay Sapphire, Fever Tree, and Key lime juice
Eric: The Real Dill, pickle sour, Line Creek Brewing Company, Peachtree City, GA
Wendy: A Very British Beer, Aldi (cheap fizzy water, bad). Moretti (very refreshing)
