Poetry Cafe: Joyce’s ‚Ulysses‘ (1922) – Molly’s Solliloquy
16.03.2022
Molly Bloom’s inner monologue on her womanhood, femininity, and sexuality….emancipated as she is! Her soliloquy is racy, raunchy….and even beautifully obscene in places.
James Joyce’s ‚Ulysses was published in Paris 100 years ago in February 1922. The final part of his epic novel is a 50-page soliloquy inner monologue) by Molly Bloom. From her ’stream of consciousness‘ we learn about her womanhood, sexuality and relations with previous lovers, as well as with her husband! Her racy, raunchy account, beautifully obscene in places, reflects her emancipated nature.
