Item Patrick Hastings' 2022 Guidebook on James Joyce's Ulysses (1922), and Walter J. Ong's Thought(This version was not previously published., 2022-03) Farrell, ThomasIn my 3,175-word review essay "Patrick Hastings' 2022 Guidebook on James Joyce's Ulysses (1922), and Walter J. Ong's Thought," I first highlight Patrick Hastings' new 2022 320-page book The Guide to James Joyce's "Ulysses" (Johns Hopkins University Press), published to commemorate the centenary of the publication of Joyce's experimental novel Ulysses in 1922. Then I concentrate on what Hastings and certain Joyce scholars refer to as the retrospectivity in Ulysses. Next, I highlight the American Jesuit literary scholar and media ecology theorist Walter J. Ong's seminal essay on literary retrospectivity in his 1977 book Interfaces of the Word: Studies in the Evolution of Consciousness and Culture (Cornell University Press, pp. 230-277), certain points of which I recount in detail.
