Boy, do we connect--although I don't so much agree about Tár, despite the brilliant performance by Cate (I think it's ultimately idea-driven). I'm a deep Ulysses/Joyce lover--can't stop reading or alluding to that novel. Isn't it Anthony Burgess who said in _Re Joyce_ ( I have so many flags on this book but still can't find the quote) that if he had two books on his bedside table, they'd be the Bible and Ulysses? Love this essay. ~ Mary
