Study Group Details
674: Powering Through James Joyce's Ulysses Together
Thursday11:45 - 1:15
Starting September 26
In-Person
An opportunity to optimally experience James Joyce’s Ulysses. The basic approach has changed from the original description of this study group because Amazon no longer makes available a planned tool: a "whispersync" link between the Kindle text and the Audible recording of Jim Norton’s reading. To compensate, the text of Ulysses has been posted to the home page of the course website at https://sites.google.com/view/poweringthroughulyssestogether/powering-through-ulysses-together and the Jim Norton reading has been posted to the site’s Ulysses Audio page. There is a battery of resources designed to allow each study group member to devise his or her best strategy for approaching Ulysses.
