MUH HISTORIC HANDJOB

A little too dilettante for my tastes. Plus I detest the literature of ideas.

June 16, 1904 is the day when Dubliner Mr. Leopold Bloom eats a kidney for breakfast, goes to a funeral, admires a girl on the beach, thinks about his wife's impending adultery, and befriends a drunk poet in the city's red light district.

>literature of ideas
It's not though.

It's a bunch of references to ideas. Even Joyce leaked two cheat sheets explaining all the ideas. He admitted it.

Don't start with "Well, Poldy is hungry so his mind thinks in culinary metaphors! He thinks that woman is a piece of meat!"

Nabokov a shit.

>yellow and liver are ideas

>>8169008
Not really but he was shit at writing anything that wasn't "What am I referencing now? Tee-hee-hee, I'll never tell!"

It's cringe to see him describe the thoughts of Bloom and watch all these people jack off to it.

Even Borges agrees. Just a bunch of ideas. We never get to know Bloom.

Proust was infinitely better.

Since I don't want to make a new Ulysses thread a we have this one - I've finished chapter 8 today. It's great for now, but I still can't understand the Gilbert schema completely. Can someone please explain the color picks for the chapters? Also how the fuck is architecture the symbol of Lestrygonians?
