Kelly and Dermot take on a deceptively simple passage in “Proteus” as they attempt to answer that ultimate question - what is the word known to all men?Topics covered in this episode include Stephen’s loneliness and why Joyce felt it was necessary for him to be totally alone, a mysterious discrepancy in Ulysses’ various editions, the 1984 Gabler edition of Ulysses, the universal Truth of a mother’s love, the universal Truth of death, how to escape from a troublesome duality, Rawhead and Bloodybones, the connection between love and death, and crab people.No Berkelyan idealism, we promise!**A note from the Department of Corrections: Kelly remarks that her 1990 edition of Ulysses contains the text as it was corrected and reset in 1963. That year should have been 1961. The responsible parties have been flogged.Sweny's Patreon helps keep this marvelous Dublin landmark alive.
