2.26 reading Wandering Rocks 1

Our tenth episode, Wandering Rocks is like no other in Ulysses. Following nebeneinander (space) as opposed to nacheinander (time), as we learned in episode 3, it follows 19 scenes in various places across Dublin at broadly the same time, around 3.15 in the afternoon. Stephen and Bloom fall back among a cast of many, as the city itself becomes the central character. Here we read the first 12 scenes. Each separate yet somehow interlinked as we sense moving from the first to the second half of the book.
