The last reading stopped at:
“What a pity!”
(Wandering Rocks U10.798)
(the next section begins with “Stephen Dedalus watched”)
Please note that there will be no reading during the Christmas holidays. The group will pick up Ulysses again on Thursday, 4 January 2018.
Catherine Meyer sends another great drawing for this week's blog post. While revisiting the last few pages read with the group, she was particularly taken with one small scene. Here are her words to all of you:
I especially enjoyed catching the moment when Bloom and Chris Callinan are on one side of the car and Molly and Lenehan on the other (10.554 ff.). I first painted the background with watercolours, scratched out the “weeny weeshy” star that Molly has spotted in the sky and then, with easy charcoal strokes, I drew Molly singing and pointing to the star and Lenehan, being in a good mood, “settling her boa all the time”.
This much to close the last reading sessions for this year. After the reading we gathered for drinks and snacks, with very good wassail (Glühwein), a delicious Linzertorte made by Brigitte and some excellent nibbles. Thank you to those who took the initiative and organised it – we all enjoyed eating, drinking and having a good time talking and discussing the current chapter of Wandering Rocks. I wish you all a Happy New Year and look forward to seeing you again soon.
