âAeolusâ, the newspaper-office episode in Ulysses, is one of the least understood when it comes to indoor topography. And yet, although the book says relatively little about Bloomâs passing through the offices, it is possible to see how the descriptions in Ulysses tally with what is known about them by drawing on contemporary resources. Various materials â such as a 1910 plan showing the Freemanâs Journal public office where Bloom talks with Murray about Keyesâs ad, an 1893 fire insurance map, reports about events in the building in 1916, extracts from Thomâs Directory of 1910 or a photograph of the interior of the Freemanâs printersâ room â are valuable documents to partly reconstruct the premises and to trace Bloomâs route through the Freemanâs building: from ground floor, to caseroom, through gallery, to upper floor, down the staircase to the editorâs office on the ground floor, and out of Freeman on to the streets toward Williamsâs Row. âAeolusâ, the windy memorial palace of the press, turns out to be a near-documentary fictional resurrection of a reality James Joyce knew had been irreversibly destroyed in the Easter Rising of 1916.
