That's probably my next favorite

I share your interest in Polyphemus--my dad told me that story when I was very young, and it's always stuck with me--and the political content of that episode fascinates me. I probably would have named "Cyclops" as my favorite the first few times I read the book, but I fell under the spell of "Sirens" when writing my dissertation. The technique in that episode is, in my opinion, the most interesting thing Joyce ever did with his prose.
