Description

Yorkshire girl Wendy ( ‘e by gum she’s a champion) leads the TTU team towards the closing scene of Circe. Unusually, Wendy finds something nice to say about Stephen and the team are excited to discover his playful, funny side (“Mark me. I dreamt of a watermelon”). Their heads “simply swirl” as they discuss music, dancing, and the significance of Shakespearean ventriloquy in this episode (“Hamlet, I am thy father’s gimlet”). Wendy, Shinijni and Eric illuminate the power of Stephen’s defiant spirit, his articulation of anti-colonial sentiment, and his inability to “retain the perpendicular.” Join the TTU team as they dance, sing, and fight their way to the end of our time on Circe’s magical isle.
Libations:

Eric: Kaldi's coffee
Wendy: Yorkshire tea (because she's a Yorkshire girl)
Shinjini: Earl Grey tea (bagged rather than looseleaf, unfortunately)

Mentions:

“My Girl’s a Yorkshire Girl” (song)

Three friends, and an occasional guest, talk about the fun bits of James Joyce's Ulysses over a beer, episode by episode. In each episode, we—Eric, Wendy, and Shinjini—will explore the parts of Ulysses we love, the parts we hate, and the parts we are downright confused by. Love it. Hate it. Don’t Get it.
