Delhiwale: A Joyce walla

Hindustan Times  

Can fiction save a life? It did for a young “jumna paar” poet and music student in east Delhi’s Mayur Vihar Phase 3. Mukul is one of those rare Delhiwale who have read “cover-to-cover” a book universally acknowledged to be among literature’s most difficult novels—James Joyce’s Ulysses. As the world prepares to celebrate the annual Bloomsday on 16th June, the date in which the great 1922 novel is set,this devoted Delhi Joycean gets frank on his relationship with Ulysses. I remember thinking to myself: “okay, I’ll read about the first thirty pages or so, and it’ll probably bore me to sleep and I’ll forget about it.” And so, I opened the first page, and I began reading.
