Professor Matthew Campbell of the University of York returns to Ulysses in 80 for a warm and engaging conversation as readers arrive in the heart of the Wandering Rocks episode.
Matthew brings the same curiosity, wit, and generosity that readers have come to enjoy in his previous visits to Ulysses in 80. The conversation wanders through Wandering Rocks, poetry, music, teaching, and the pleasures of reading Joyce slowly, always returning to the ordinary readers who keep the book alive.
Along the way, the discussion explores how Ulysses continues to surprise even after a lifetime of reading. Matthew reflects on the rhythms of Joyce's Dublin, memorable characters, unexpected discoveries, and the joy of following curiosity wherever the novel leads.
Recorded live on Zoom as part of the 2026 Ulysses in 80 global reading community, this conversation has been lightly edited for podcast listening while preserving the spontaneity and spirit of the original discussion.
