The Guide to James Joyce's Ulysses | Patrick Hastings
Pickpick

author is a high school teacher of English-the bio endearingly records that he coaches soccer too-which means he's able to pitch this complex novel to the general reader. More guides to difficult novels should be written by high school teachers! Thoroughly useful and a welcome addition to the Joyce bookshelf for those of us who have struggled with Joyce's dense prose

The Guide to James Joyce's Ulysses | Patrick Hastings

As I get closer to finishing Ulysses and Bloomsday on June 16, I want to share the resources I‘ve used alongside my reading. My favorite websites are the Ulysses Guide, now available as the tagged book, and The Joyce Project. I listen to every episode of the Friends of Shakespeare & Company Read Ulysses podcast, both audiobook & explanatory Bloomcasts. I‘ve also listened to most of the Reading Ulysses episodes and some of the U22 episodes. ⬇️

Daisey The U22 podcast is still in progress as another centenary read by Catherine Flynn who is publishing the Cambridge Centenary Ulysses edition with essays, notes, maps, and photos later this year.

Yesterday I found the Censored podcast episode about Ulysses, which specifically discusses how the book was officially and unofficially censored/banned in different countries. ⬇️ 3y
Daisey I‘ve listened to a few episodes of Blooms & Barnacles by Kelly Bryan as well as the Re:Joyce podcast by Frank Delaney, but these are both a bit much to keep up with and harder to jump in and out of as I have time or find a section of the book about which I want more explanation. I prefer those listed above that have episodes for specific episodes/chapters of the book. ⬇️ (edited) 3y
Daisey My print copy of Ulysses is the Alma edition with annotations by Sam Slote, Marc A. Mamigonian, and John Turner. I was recommended the Shmoop study guide which I‘ve referenced some as well. https://www.shmoop.com/study-guides/literature/ulysses-joyce/summary

If you have other great resources for Ulysses, please feel free to comment and add them to this list.

Graywacke Impressive. One day I will read this…🙂(and then I will need all these resources). 3y
Daisey @Graywacke I‘ve put in a lot of extra time and effort, but it has made my reading so much more worthwhile! 3y
JazzFeathers It sounds like this was quite the undertaking. 3y
Daisey @JazzFeathers Yes, but I don‘t think I would have appreciated or enjoyed it without the effort, and I have enjoyed sections of it. Some books deserve that, and I think this is one that does. 3y
JazzFeathers I'm happy to have your experience to refer to. Maybe, one day I'll read it too, the way you did 😁 3y
Daisey @AnneCecilie These are some of the other resources I used while reading Ulysses this year. 2y
AnneCecilie Thanks for the tag. Seems like a lot of additional sources are necessary 2y

Look what arrived today! Just in time for the celebration tomorrow! This is a brand new book of critical thought on the book, and I'm really looking forward to seeing what Hastings brings to the table! MY BODY IS READY! 👍💚📖 #ulysses

Daisey I‘m definitely going to use his website alongside my read. I‘ll be curious to hear what you think of the book. 3y
Branwen @Daisey The website will moat definitely be a big help! I'm excited! 3y
