Episode 14: Oxen of the Sun

Set in a maternity hospital, "Oxen" parodies the development of English prose. A celebration of maternity or a rival creative feat? Joyce called it the most difficult episode "to interpret and to execute"; we talk about the shortcuts he took in composing it and its unexpected humor. Joining us are Greg Harradine, composer in the Scottish Borders, Emmet O'Cuana, Dublin writer living in Australia, and Chrissy Van Mierlo, Museum director at Loughborough Bellfoundry, UK, and recovering Joycean.
