Bloomsday!

June 16, 2015

He liked thick word soup

In honor of Bloomsday, which is celebrated each June 16 by James Joyce fans worldwide, try your hand at He liked thick word soup, a Joycean app by chronotext / Ariel Malka.

The idea is that by manually untangling word threads and matching them to part of a phrase from Ulysses, the player is actually doing a close reading of a short passage from the dense novel.

It’s available for iPhone and Android and it’s free.
