I finally finished my #currentbook ‘Ulysses’, by James Joyce. Similar in experimental nature to the previously discussed “Circes” episode, the “Penelope” episode is rather wild deep dive into the consciousness of protagonist Leopold Bloom’s wife, Molly. While “Circes” deviates from common narrative form by structured as a play, “Penelope” presents itself as a wall of text with gigantic paragraphs.

Reading “Penelope” certainly made me remember how Joyce’s contemporaries praised ‘Ulysses’ (1/2).

Future #currentbook titles for 2023, hopefully:
• In Transit, by Dianna E. Anderson
• A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, by James Joyce
• Swann’s Way (ISLT Vol. 1), by Marcel Proust
• Too Like the Lightning (Terre Ignota Bk. 1), by Ada Palmer
• The Plague, by Albert Camus

Any other suggestions?
