What A Difference A Day Makes
This is the class blog for English 341, 20th Century English Novel at Emory University in Atlanta, GA. During the Spring 2008 semester we will be studying the evolution of the twenty-four hour or 'day-long' novel in English during the twentieth century and early twenty-first centuries. This will be the online home of our class, where we will pose questions, offer answers, develop insights, share discoveries, and document our journey through the novels you see listed below.

In this episode, Joyce produces a variety of new characters and continually jumps from character to character. There is no real focus on one character in this episode and the reader gets to experience many different consciousnesses and events. The title of the chapter "Wandering Rocks" reflects the constant literary motion between characters because Joyce wanders through the minds of many different characters. This episode serves as a display for all the potential paths Joyce could have taken with his 24 hour novel. In the Odyssey, the wandering rocks were thought to move and not stay stationary; thus, they were unpredictable. Similarly, Joyce is taking the readers on a ride in which he is submerging them into the lives of different characters and the reader is oblivious to what Joyce intends to throw at the reader next.
