This place ain’t doing me any good. I’m in the wrong town; I should be in Hollywood. Just for a second there, I thought I saw something move. Gonna take dancing lessons, do the jitterbug rag. Ain’t no shortcuts; gonna dress in drag. Only a fool in here would think he’s got anything to prove. Lot of water under the bridge, lot of other stuff too. Don’t get up, gentlemen—I’m only passing through…

Part nine.

First, I have for you part five.

Second, I apologize for my scarceness over the last few days. Things have been a little crazy around here.

Third, a happy belated Bloomsday to you. Yesterday was the 105th anniversary of all of the events in our story. In celebration of that, I’ve found for you a relatively rare clip of Mr. Joyce himself reading a passage from his Finnegans Wake (1939) (thanks to Random House). I don’t know about you, but I could listen to this guy talk for hours without even concerning myself with the actual words he was saying. That the words happen to be his own is simply the best of added bonuses.

Part six tomorrow.

Ulysses: Part Five, and Happy Belated Bloomsday!
