Joyce's not Homer's. Joyce specialists offer new commentary on the 18 episodes of the 20th-century novel, highlighting the various articulations of femininities and masculinities in the modernist epic. Treating gender as a form of overwriting, meaning both excess and layering, they explore such aspects as familial roles, labor assignments, perceptual modes, colonialist categories, sexualities, ethnicities, ways of knowing and learning, scents, tastes, and eating habits.
