An Odd Note on Ulysses
You know, it just occurred to me, having visited Ireland last year just after Bloomsday--remarkably little of Ulysses takes place in the dark. During my time there I was out until 10, or 11 o'clock at night taking what look like late-afternoon pictures. Around 10:30, 11:00 there was a sort of dusk, though it still seemed quite light to me.
Not that it matters, but it may (pardon the pun) shed a different light on the later episodes to think of them as being in late afternoon/early evening light rather than full dark. It is likely that the only "full-dark" part of Ulysses may be "Penelope."
Just a thought that I hope contributes to your appreciation of the work.
