This duo bring June 16, 1904, to joyous life. The narrators and assorted readers adroitly apply the proper voices and levels of brogue to match the characters; Bloom and Dedalus are clear-voiced and educated, while the trio of pub-goers accompanying “the Citizen” in a particularly effective act are pure shanty Irish. Molly Bloom’s monolog is delivered in the appropriately leisurely pace of a woman accustomed to long hours in bed…Naxos offers Molly’s soliloquy unabridged, giving listeners a luscious earful of the full breadth of Joyce’s stream-of-consciousness writing. Hearing Ulysses read aloud reinforces its literary merit while proving how much fun it is rather than a high-brow slog, as Joyce’s bawdy sense of humor shines through. Naxos’s Molly is solid for students, Joyce heads, and anyone who enjoys fine literature. Whether your taste runs to walking the streets with Bloom and Dedalus or slipping between the sheets with Molly, this duo has it all. © 2012 Library Journal Read complete review
