Lauren brings her program to a close by binding all eighteen episodes of Ulysses & #Relatability into one, easy-to-listen-to, hour-long program! Thanks for coming along for this ride.

Welcome to Lauren Blaser's premiere podcast, Ulysses & #Relatability! You're in for a treat :)

Lauren praises Joyce's approach to Ithaca... that is, incessant questioning.

Lauren dives into a moment of intimacy between Stephen and Bloom, while focusing on the moments during which she related to the characters.

Lauren explains the definition of the literary term "defamiliarization" and explores some of Joyce's applications of this tactic.

Lauren explores her instinctive reactions to this chapter by highlighting her annotations (and a note made by the previous owner of her book which particularly resonated with her).

Lauren draws parallels between the experiences of young women like Gerty in the early 20th century and herself in the 21st century. Surprisingly (not surprisingly?) there are quite a few similarities.

The writing style of Cyclops resembles journaling in that it plays up specific details after they've already happened in real time, and in doing so it creates dramatizations uniquely engaging.

Everyone has their own inner demons (sirens) which threaten to pull them under from time to time... Lauren muses about this for a bit.

Lauren dives into chapter 10 of Ulysses, titled The Wandering Rocks... we're over halfway through the novel!
