Episode description
Organ meats: the breakfast of champions.
In this episode, we cover the opening pages of Ulysses’ fourth episode, “Calypso.” Topics include who eats organ meats, how Bloom’s thoughts are different from Stephen’s thoughts, the humbleness of “Calypso,” what mundane actions tell us about a character, kidneys as a correspondent organ in “Calypso”, art as the office of purgation, Joyce as an artistic kidney, the cyclical nature of waste, Bloom’s kidney as a burnt offering, Bloom’s cat, Bloom’s compassion toward animals, the fate of 7 Eccles St., the first Bloomsday, why 7 Eccles St. wasn’t preserved, and how to knock on Bloom’s front door anyway.
