Ulysses by James Joyce

Of his epic classic, Joyce said, “I want to give a picture of Dublin so complete that if the city suddenly
disappeared from the earth it could be reconstructed out of my book.” He accomplished all of that and
then some.

From the book: “Mr. Leopold Bloom ate with relish the inner organs of beasts and fowls.
He liked thick giblet soup, nutty gizzards, a stuffed roast heart, liver slices filled with crust crumbs,
fried hencod’s roes.”

My own add-on: “Outside where he sat on small metal chairs, people were moving all around him.
Across from where he sat was a boy playing a baby blue electric guitar, but his music was getting drowned out by the people speaking loud and laughing obnoxiously. The streets had a yellow tint

from the street lights shining above. The sky was turning into a darkened blue, the clouds were starting

to change colors from the sunset, starting off orange and then gradually changing to light pink.”
