Reading and discussion of the Cyclops section of Ulysses by James Joyce.|IN THE IRISH STYLE : ULYSSES / Pat Cody and Peter Gosgrove| produced by Padraigin McGuillicuddy. - SERIES: Irish Contributions to English Literature| no. 3. - While James Joyce speaks with a world voice, he embodies all the characteristics of Irish writers, notably the circular patterns of thinking combined with mythic, emotive content, and with much of the action evolving in verbal encounters. Rational, linear thinking is identified as English, and even writers (like Shaw) use these techniques of writing, even if their themes may be Irish. This excerpt from the Cyclops section of James Joyce's "Ulysses", read by Pat Cody and Peter Gosgrove, illustrates Joyce's concern with the exclusion of certain peoples by others and demonstrates the Irish love of land and their gift for verbal action. - BROADCAST: KPFA, 1982.
