Episode
7
Joyce sets the scene of most of this episode in the offices of The Freeman’s
Journal, just behind Dublin’s General Post Office. Bloom visits the editors
of the newspaper to discuss the renewal of an advertisement. At the same
time Stephen Dedalus is presenting to the newspaper a copy of the letter
from Mr. Deasy. Bloom departs for the National Library to seek out a copy
of the Kilkenny People which is carrying the advertisement. The time is
noon.
