To see Joyce at work on the Wandering Rocks was to see an engineer at work with compass and slide-rule, a surveyor with theodolite and measuring chain… Joyce wrote the Wandering Rocks with a map of Dublin before him on which were traced in red ink the paths of the Earl of Dudley and Father Conmee. He calculated to a minute the time necessary for his characters to cover a given distance of the city (Budgen 123, 124–125).

This data visualization presents episode 10 of James Joyce’s Ulysses (“Wandering Rocks”) in ways that highlight its multiple and clashing spatiotemporalities.
