As a blinding, elderly man, setting out to read Joyce's Ulysses poses one of the largest unanswered challenges present in my life. From mon café préfère in Pairs, just across the English Channel from Ireland, I will undertake this task. My journaling will serve as a channel through which I share my ponderings and experience this classic novel.
One massive book. One elderly, blinding man. One desire to traverse Jame Joyce's master work before my eyesight handicaps my ability to read. Join me as I recount my experiences in this audio-journal.
