Okay, who can give me a synopsis of James Joyces Ulysses without googling?

[Jara sang]

[Mutley]

1. I haven't read Ulysses, but I read most of the stories in Dubliners.

[Rabrrrrrr]

2. He goes on a great odyssey and returns a different man

[Magrittes Pipe]

Well, Leopold Bloom and Stephen Dedalus got drunk.

There was some fucking, although Bloom and Dedalus did not fuck each other. A lot of attention was payed to Bloom's appetite, and the lovely meals he ate during the day. Then the day was over, and so was the book.

3. Here we go

Bloom is Jewish and roams around Dublin with Stephen Daedalus (who is actually kinda anti-semitic, and who Bloom sees as a "son."). His wife is an Irish Xian named Molly. There's a lot of stream of consciousness, some sex, some food. And it ends with Molly's soliloquy, which is just one huge run-on sentence. However, Siobhan McKenna's recording of this is exquisite.

Okay, this is a mini-synopsis.

[Tyrone Slothrop]

5. Stephen Dedalus is kicked out of his apartment

And goes out wandering through Dublin.

Leopold Bloom also goes out and wanders through Dublin but with some purpose. He has a funeral to go to, some business to take care of and, primarily, he doesn't want to go home because he is pretty sure that his wife Molly is cheating on him afternoon with Blazes Boylan.

So he and Stephen are both out wandering through Dublin, and their paths cross every so often. Towards the end of the day, Bloom watched Dedalus and his drunken buddies heading for Nighttown (the Red Light District). He follows them, being friends with Dedalus's father and feeling somewhat paternal towards him. Finally, they return to Bloom's house. They talk for awhile, take a leak in the back garden, and Bloom offers Dedalus a place to stay and thinks that Molly can teach him singing lessons. Dedalus refuses and leaves, without a place to stay.

The novel concludes with Molly's soliliquy, which simultaneously refutes and strengthens many of Bloom's thoughts and observations. However, at the end she comes back to the singular fact that she loves Bloom very much and will stay with him.
