The last session stopped at STEPHEN'S Cardinal sin. Monks of the screw.” (15.2653)

Local artist Catherine Meyer sends a picture to illustrate the last reading , a “stately, rubicund Ben Dollard”, as she calls it, and continues:

I love the adjectives Joyce uses to describe his characters and I am delighted with his fantasy and imagination that seem to be endless. So the following paragraph triggered my curiosity as to wether and how Ben Dollard would appear on the paper. The description of Ben Dollard by Joyce is:


“Ben Jumbo Dollard, rubicund, musclebound, hairynostrilled, hugebearded, cabbageeared, shaggychested, shockmaned, fatpapped, stand forth, his hoins and genitals tightened into a pair of black bathing bagslops.” (15.2604–7)


Enjoy Ben Dollard's self portrait.
