As if we had the option of using any other quote for this episode’s title. Eric leads a discussion of the end of “Penelope” and the end of Ulysses. Specifically, this episode covers sentences 7 and 8 (pages 633-41 and lines 1149-1611 in the Gabler edition).

The episode covers superstition, friendship (or the lack thereof), and the most famous passage in Ulysses. It concludes with what Eric considers the dirtiest bit we’ve covered yet.

Libations:


Eric: Black Widow Cider (blackberry and apple cider, Original Sin Cider, New York, NY)


Wendy: Dunkel (Dunkel with bourbon overtones, Blue Stallion Brewing, Lexington, KY)


Shinjini: green tea

Shinjini leads a discussion of sentences 4, 5, and 6 of “Penelope” (pages 621-33 in the Gabler edition). They’re long sentences, obviously.

In a shockingly efficient, less than an hour long conversation, we cover internalized misogyny, marital intimacy, marital infidelity, farts, anulingus, and the Barbie movie.

Libations:


Eric: Deliria (Belgian ale, Brouwerij Huyghe, Melle, Belgium)


Wendy: May the Schwarzbier Be With You (schwarzbier, Wrecking Bar Brewing, Atlanta, GA)


Shinjini: a warm blueberry infusion

Wendy leads Eric and Shinjini through a discussion of the first third of “Penelope,” or at least the first chunk of the episode to fall out of her decaying Gabler edition. They discuss: 


The episode’s style and structure


The Blooms’ marriage


Sex on public transit


And, of course, all the naughty bits



Libations:


Eric: Panic Button (cherry sour, Monday Night Brewing, Atlanta, GA)


Wendy: Discipline (dubbel Belgian ale, Bold Monk Brewing, Atlanta, GA)


Shinjini: surprisingly good non-Darjeeling Indian black tea

Wendy and Eric discuss themes in Ulysses, drawn at random out of a bowl: family, entrails, Irishness, and loyalty.

Beverages:


Eric: Protea rosé (Antonij Rupert Wyne, Franschhoek, South Africa)
Wendy: Moretti, pale lager (Udeni, Italy)

Wendy leads Eric and Shinjini through a discussion of the second half of “Ithaca,” the penultimate episode of Ulysses. They discuss: 


The differences between the episode’s two halves


Parsing difficult passages


The what and why of some of Bloom’s actions


The events of Molly’s tryst with Blazes Boylan


And Molly and Bloom’s sex lives and marriage.



Please pardon the occasional dryer noise in the background. It fades quickly after its first appearance.
