Levent BulutHOST
You know, in the Christian tradition, it's actually a religious feast.
Levent BulutHOST
But it was the legendary writer James Joyce who grabbed this word from its religious roots and brought it into modern fiction.
Levent BulutHOST
He used it to describe this sudden appearance of meaning right in the middle of everyday, ordinary life.
Levent BulutHOST
And thanks to Joyce, this whole concept became an absolute cornerstone of narrative theory.
Patrick BoyleHOST
Well, their IPO prospectus finally arrived this week.
Patrick BoyleHOST
It is 240,000 words long, which is about the length of James Joyce's Ulysses, which is not considered an easy read either.
Patrick BoyleHOST
The risk factor section alone runs 90 pages, roughly three times what SpaceX put in front of investors earlier this year.
Patrick BoyleHOST
And the SpaceX prospectus wasn't exactly normal either.
Clare McLaughlinGUEST
That was on Sandy Mount Strand.
Clare McLaughlinGUEST
So James Joyce, a very famous Irish playwright or author, was visually impaired, actually.
Clare McLaughlinGUEST
And when I read, I read like Ulysses is tough going reading because it's.
Christine KahnHOST
Yeah.
Clare McLaughlinGUEST
But when you read Ulysses from the perspective of a sensory perspective, When you read it, you know, kind of concentrating on the sensory elements, it's hugely sensory.
Clare McLaughlinGUEST
So last, just last summer on the 16th of June, which is Bloomsday, it's celebrated every year in Dublin and abroad, you know, it's celebrated everywhere.
Clare McLaughlinGUEST
people gather and celebrate James Joyce.
Clare McLaughlinGUEST
So that was the first of it.
Loren Lewis ColeHOST
So instead of saying trippy, which is that kind of experience of synesthesia and things being completely outside of your mind, you know, like I'm going to instead say an aesthetic experience.
Loren Lewis ColeHOST
And that's what James Joyce used to call it.
Loren Lewis ColeHOST
And I really like that.
Loren Lewis ColeHOST
It has its roots in ancient Greece.
DermotHOST
welcome.
DermotHOST
This is a bonus podcast where we talk about topics tangential to James Joyce's Ulysses and we're here today to talk about Perhaps the most interesting church in Dublin, which is? St.
DermotHOST
Mikan's.
DermotHOST
Yes.
Mandy GreenHOST
This is going to be different than it seems here in this world we're in.
Mandy GreenHOST
James Joyce, in his work, The Portrait of an Artist as a Young Man, writes this, and I love the sentiment there.
Mandy GreenHOST
Whatever else is unsure in this stinking dunk hill of a world, a mother's love is not.
Mandy GreenHOST
And Maya Angelou, in her work, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, writes, to describe my mother would be to write about a hurricane and its perfect power or the climbing, falling colors of a rainbow.
Kazuo IshiguroGUEST
But then I went through this kind of probably the equivalent of what I see a lot of writers when they're starting out doing this.
Kazuo IshiguroGUEST
I went through a kind of a period when I was just flexing my technical muscles Um, and so I went through a kind of purple prose, kind of James Joyce period, um, or more like kind of Kerouac Ginsburg period, you know, and by the time I, I, I was finishing my songwriting career, um, which had no material success.
Kazuo IshiguroGUEST
I was writing very, very pared down songs.
Kazuo IshiguroGUEST
I could play all these chords.

He went to Paris on a two-year exchange to teach English at an elite college there, and Paris undid him in the best way.
speaker_6NARRATOR
It was the literary capital of the world, and by a piece of enormous luck he was carried almost at once into the innermost circle of the greatest and most difficult writer then living, his fellow Irishman James Joyce.
speaker_6NARRATOR
For a young man steeped in languages and hungry for seriousness, this was like being admitted to the presence of a god.
speaker_6NARRATOR
Joyce was half blind by then, and at work on the vast, dense dream language book that would occupy his last years, and Beckett made himself useful, running errands, reading aloud to him, taking dictation, discussing the endless music of the sentences.
22 MINS LATER
speaker_6NARRATOR
It was a quiet recognition that came to him in his mother's room in Dublin in 1945, and it changed the direction of everything he wrote afterward.
speaker_6NARRATOR
For years he had been stuck, gifted and stalled, unable to find a way of writing that was truly his own.
speaker_6NARRATOR
The reason, he now understood, had a name, and the name was James Joyce.
speaker_6NARRATOR
He had spent his youth in the orbit of the greatest and most encyclopedic writer of the age, and he had absorbed, without quite meaning to, an idea of what a great writer was.
Min Jin LeeGUEST
With all
Meghna ChakrabartiHOST
apologies to fans of James Joyce.
Min Jin LeeGUEST
Oh, you just got an A+.
Min Jin LeeGUEST
Very good.
Anne CurzanGUEST
Other people have what's called a handicap, some kind of advantage in the game.
Anne CurzanGUEST
By the 1920s, and here we can quote James Joyce's Ulysses, we see Scratch used metaphorically, figuratively.
Anne CurzanGUEST
And here's the quote from Ulysses, a poor foreign immigrant who started Scratch as a stowaway and is now trying to turn an honest penny.
Anne CurzanGUEST
So that person started from nothing.
