ITT: People who have never read Ulysses tell us what happens in the book based of what they learned from /lit/

Wait, there's literally people here who haven't read Ulysses?
literally no idea because no one talks about books, they just argue about whos taste is better in pure ad hominem
Stephen Daedalus spends a day bootin' around Dublin and making kooky references to the Western Canon. That's all I got

farts
Harold Bloom is a jew in Dublin who leaves his house to buy some kidneys for breakfast. His journey throughout the day which features numerous characters including Stephen Dedalus from a Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, mirrors the story of Homer's odyssey. In his time in Dublin he runs in to the man who his wife is having an affair with. When he returns home his wife is talking complete shit and he goes to have a bath to relax. In the bath he looks at his dick floating and compares it to a lotus flower. Then he goes to sleep and has a dream which is then Finnegan's Wake.
How did I do /lit/? Planning on reading Ulysses this summer.
A day in Dublin filled with random bullshit and Catholic irony. I assume that there are some vividly described farts in there as well.

5/10
He never meets Blazes Boylan, Molly is semi awake when he arrives, and the last part is a retarded theory. You also only got Calypso and Lotus-Eaters, two episodes from the whole book.

Two guys in Ireland do some things that parallel Odyssey, one of them walks on a beach and gets a handjob at the end of the book.

>What sound accompanied the union of their tangent, the disunion of their (respectively) centrifugal and centripetal hands?
>The sound of the peal of the hour of the night by the chime of the bells in the church of Saint George.
>What echoes of that sound were by both and each heard?
>By Stephen: Liliata rutilantium. Turma circumdet. Iubilantium te virginum. Chorus excipiat.
>By Bloom: Heigho, heigho, Heigho, heigho.
holy fuck why did noone tell me how funny this book was
There is this one guy who is named after Odyssey and he does this one strange thing, namely, he farts and there is shit everywhere. Oh and then there is this one place where he gets drunk and starts writing gibberish. Oh and Finnegans Wake is actually a work of a hack. Or was it the other way around? Anyways, Ulysses is clearly some very strange morality play as to why fecal mater ought to not be dispensed in anything else but toilets, or, if we are really going for ye' olde Irish mood, night pots.

Upstairs to the parapet
A guy appears at the head of some stairs carrying some shaving tools. He slides down the banistar, which is a banister with a star as the decorative thingie, so he possibly hurts himself. He lives in a house on the less fashionable side of The Egg. He goes to Dublin where he meets people who are all allegories for characters from The Odyssey, and each one is a self-contained story. The story regularly slips into what seems like complete non sequitur parts where you can't even figure out what the fuck the characters are saying. Random parts are literally just popular Irish songs Joyce heard in commercials on the radio while he was writing.

The mad scribblings of a potato-riddled, alcohol-addled old Taig.
an uneventful day in the life of a fat fuck named buck mulligan and his friend who get hammered and sniff farts and also something similar to the odyssey and it was all a dream

leopold bloom is a jewish irish cuck and probably professor, the book follows a lazy day which he has off work as he wanders dublin pondering art, philosophy, politics, and his personal relationships whilst interacting with the people he meets
he probably starts his day by going to a cafe for breakfast and he is probably in love with the cafe waitress
after breakfast he probably stares into the river that runs through dublin and reflects on life and death
midway through his day he has a gorgonzola sandwich at the pub then goes to the university where he meets one of his students stephen dedalus from portrait of the artist
the novel paralells the odyssey with bloom as odysseus and stephen as telemachus and molly his wife who is cucking him is penelope
the theme is that real heroism is in the everyday struggle, and probably bloom does not 'slay the suitors' but endures
at night bloom runs into dedalus at a pub where they get drunk and wander around hallucinating until the sun comes up
stephen stumbles home and bloom probably curls up by a tree and catches a few hours of sleep before he has to go to work and finds himself in spite of his problems at peace
a-and some character wanks to the smell of a woman's farts
irish people go about their dreary lives in a modern retelling of the homeric epics?

that's why memes exist, son. Ulysses will live forever
cuck jew cranks it on a beach and then the world ends
Fart sniffing fellow countryman writes a book of utter drivel that pompous faggots decades later fall for to look cultured.
