    I once had a modest contact with the literary crowd
    in Dublin among whom, I don't doubt for a moment,
    there were a number of people who had read Ulysses
    in its entirety. I have to say, though, I never met the wan.
 
    We could all make confident allusion to stately Buck Mulligan
    & had at least heard the name Blazes Boylan - & every damned
    one took a pride in his scrotum-tightening take-off of
    Siobhan McKenna doing Molly's last soliloquy.

    But once you got them into the corner, adjusted the floods
    & gave them a second shot of scopolamine they all, without
    exception, admitted:
        'Well, all right. Not ALL of it. A fair bit of it.
        The important bits. You couldn't expect me to read
        ALL that. Jaysus, I'm not a fucking American ...'

    So congratters to Cecilia on her intrepidity. I have every
    confidence she'll have it in the can by next Sunday. I can only
    pray to God I won't be expected to make intelligent comments.

    Scottie B.
