It was first published in The Little Review, and subsequently that issue was banned. In it Bloom sits on the Strand watching fireworks and up the skirt of a young girl. Another source for Joycean erotica can be found in Joyce's letters to Nora Barnacle while she was visiting Ireland.Its odd I guess but I've never thought of Penelope (the last section) as especially erotic. But every year on or about Bloomsday I read both Nausikaa and Penelope and the opening of Hades where Bloom contemplates Palestine and the Dead Sea. Happy Bloom's Day!!
