Dr. Fielding's Course

Ulysses

·

What an interesting chapter this was.  I was taken aback at some of the frank language and circumstances Mr. Joyce subjected us to.  I don’t believe a lady should have to read about someone’s bowel movements.  It’s just not proper sir.  I will say I was a bit confused on the subject matter, until I had the opportunity to listen to an enthralling lecture over the subject.  I am able to comprehend the material much better than before.  This is why I so wish to learn from those who have more wisdom than I.  If only Mr. Casaubon would teach me all that he knows in that great mind of his.  I fear I may have strayed from the subject a bit.  I do apologize.  Mr. Leopold Bloom is quite a descriptive fellow.  I feel as though I am walking through the streets of Dublin and hearing and seeing all that he sees.  This Joyce fellow is a beautiful writer.  I have never been to Dublin before but maybe I can convince my husband to take me there someday.  I do agree with Cecilia about Mr. Bloom’s eating habits.  Offal sounds quite unappetizing and I have no desire to consume it.  I am curious about the contents of Mrs. Bloom’s mysterious letter.  I shall get a hold of a copy of Ulysses and read the entire story cover to cover.
