Molly Bloom

And finally, Caraid O'Brien performs the last two pages of Molly Bloom's Penelope episode to end the book.  It is after midnight.  Bloom is drunkenly snoring beside her.  Molly remembers the moment her estranged husband proposed to her.  She was a young singer at the beginning of her career and he was man full of ideas on how to make her star.  After the death of their infant son Rudy, 11 years previous, their marriage has yet to recover.  This scene was filmed in Caraid's Hell's Kitchen bedroom during the 2020 pandemic.  You can listen to her full recording of Molly Bloom's monologue at complete.ulysses.com 

Caraid also wrote a contemporary retelling of the end of Ulysses, set in modern day New York which you can also listen to below.
