The group has started episode 16, “Eumaeus”, and read to: “anyhow, he was all in” (16.154).
Catherine Meyer, local artist and long-standing member of the reading groups, has sent a painting for this blog with the following words:
Of course “Circe”, chapter 15, has to have a conclusion and a final depiction. At the beginning, I painted a picture showing the first stage direction for Mabbot Street, the night town being dark, full of stunted men and women and children and strange facilities such as an icegondola or a lighthouse.
The end result, though, is a totally different sight: calmly Rudy's dead soul appears as a feather and that nothingness will soon fly away. For once I did not render Joyce’s stage directions but have tried to capture only a faint feeling that I imagine Bloom must have had.
