Bob, introduce us

into this whole world.

Thank you, Cleona, and thank you, Mark, for the great introduction.

I'm wearing my Ulysses shirt today.

This is, you probably recognize, this is the style of the Random House edition, the famous Ulysses block letters that were created by Ernst Reichel, famously.

So, welcome all.

Happy Canada Day, incidentally.

And it's like the book kind of almost reads in a sequence up to then and then it shifts and becomes something very different.
