Stuart Bailey was our guest artist. He's great. His combo of high art thinking, artisanal qualities and Scandinavian black metal groupiedom was really... apt.
Here's his web link.

tmac, Ithaca.
Fav segment which emplyos Joyce's catechism format. Very happy with shift in symbolism from water to Sydney sandstone. For anyone who knows my hometown, Yellowblock is more prominent than our beaches. Q&A list of major c19 buildings also attached.

Now back in Sydney. Working on fiction-only version of "Telemachus" called "tmac." It's shorter (90,000) so gets less title + lower case.
Reworking Oxen episode. I suspect it was Joyce's greatest technical achievement. I know he liked Ithaca. But wow.

If I was pretentious, this would be a staged picture of my current reading with a strategically-placed bowel cancer screening test.
But there isn't my 12-inch 45 of XRaySpex (1978?) with "bondage" + "boredom," so it couldn't be.
For pretension see my book...

TMAC C1
Great images from Mel Broe on TMAC website. She also made fun chapter word clouds, which show my fav tool is base simile. Tom = Tom Hallem (my half-Dedalus with Billy Capri). Don Cane = Odysseus coming back to Sydney (biological-false father figure).

Telemachus C1 vs Ulysses
Joyce didn't follow Homeric structure unless it suited his plot needs. I followed Don Gifford's dictum to invoke the Muse. But I tampered with his name for fun. It's an indicator of the unreliable narrator to come in TMAC.

Joyce's last Xmas -
"The old man bought his grandson marzipan and chocolate. He went walking with the little boy in the snow. Xmas 1940 was spent at the Giedion’s house singing songs in Latin and Irish whilst drunk."
From Telemachus (443).

Telemachus C1... now in AI Greek!
I love Wayne's translations. If you look really hard, you can find my favourite bands in Greek! Joy Division, Birthday Party or feedtime anyone? The text spins out of a West Berlin work by Justin Trendall.

So Wayne did Greek translations for C1 of TMAC with a great new image. It reminded me of wordclouds done by Mel Broe for each chapter on my TMAC website. Here they are together forever.

Joyce set "Ulysses" on Gold Cup Day - Ireland's great annual horse.
"Telemachus" is thus set on Melbourne Cup Day 1984.
Like "Ulysses," it follows a day in the life of two half-brothers in Sydney, underscored by the looming return of their father after 20 years in Asia.

"Telemachus" is the son of "Ulysses," just as Telemachus was the son of Odysseus.
It contains a wealth of information about Joyce, his works and literary correspondences.
In fact, it could almost be called “Ulysses” for Dummies!

I am the writer of "Telemachus."
It is technical fiction that reworks James Joyce's "Ulysses" through
J-F Lyotard's notion of the postmodern as that within Modernism which calls forth the unpresentable onto the page.
