The Complete Ulysses: Alec Baldwin, Garrison Keillor, Bob Odenkirk & Others Read Joyce’s Opus Aloud — openculture.com

Perhaps you’ve held off on listening to Re:Joyce, Frank Delaney’s line-by-line, episode-by-episode podcast exegesis of James Joyce’s Ulysses, because you want to listen not just to a breakdown of the novel, but to the novel itself. If so, then boy, have we got another ongoing project for you to follow: The Complete Ulysses, which has a mandate to record every word of Ulysses as “the first American production” of the book “using mostly American and Irish-American actors like Alec Baldwin, John Lithgow, Jerry Stiller, Garrison Keillor, Anne Meara, Wallace Shawn, Bob Dishy, Anne Enright, Bob Odenkirk, Pulitzer-Prize-winning poet Paul Muldoon, and Caraid O’Brien as Molly Bloom.” The producers have planned to make available recordings of each chapter as soon as they finish them, “on almost all current and future audio media.” You can browse the so-far completed material here.
