JSngry Posted February 26, 2017 Report Share Posted February 26, 2017 https://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/22/arts/frank-delaney-74-author-whose-passion-was-deconstructing-joyces-ulysses-dies.html To help frazzled readers find their way through the novel’s 260,000 words while making them less forbidding, Mr. Delaney, in the first episode of his podcast, invoked the “Peanuts” character Snoopy. He also wrote a rap tribute to Joyce. Some conventional scholars were appalled, to which Mr. Delaney parried, “No one hates a popularizer more than an intellectual.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rostasi Posted February 26, 2017 Report Share Posted February 26, 2017 Thanks for this. Saw this in the Irish Times earlier this week. His podcasts are wonderful. It was easy to pretend that he was the closest thing to what Joyce would've sounded and acted like in these modern times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
