Is James Joyce really that difficult? From the legendarily labyrinthine sentences of Ulysses to the grounded reality of Dubliners, Joyce has carved out a niche as Ireland's greatest, most famous, but least-read, author.

In this episode, we sit down with Joyce scholar Sari to understand more about Joyce's life story, and how he left Dublin, but always had his heart there.

Whether you're a seasoned veteran or wondering where to begin, this conversation will challenge your assumptions and maybe even inspire you to crack open Ulysses.
