I made my radio debut this afternoon.
The Wild Geese Players of Seattle read a couple of short excerpts on KBCS
from James Joyce's Ulysses, as a foretaste of the readings
we're doing next weekend.
This year's reading is of the Nausicaa chapter,
wherein Leopold Bloom reposes on a beach
to recover from clashing with the Citizen in the previous chapter,
and flirts at a distance with young Gerty MacDowell.
This is the infamous masturbation chapter
that led to Ulysses being banned for obscenity.
There are two readings.
I will be one of several readers giving voice to Leopold Bloom.
It is likely that Jim McDermott will once again be reading with us.
