reading Ulysses with my mOm
an inter-generational epistolary art project experience thing
When my mom told me she wanted to read James Joyce’s Ulysses, I thought it was a terrible idea. Now we're reading it together.
HOW THIS WORKS
We're reading James Joyce's Ulysses together and exchanging emails about our reading experience. K is compiling the emails into sensemaking posts and sharing them here.
To make it clear who's writing to whom, we're using the following visual shorthand:
An email from Mom looks like this: navy text on a yellow background.
An email from K looks like this: navy text on a pinkish background.
