I just noticed that the use of sidebars and footnotes only apply to pages 260-308. Why did he do this? Was it merely for absurdist reasons? Just as the text is largely though not completely obscure the footnotes and sidebars seems only partially related to the text referenced.

Most notable is all the extra textual activity; on left are foreign language italicized, right side capitalized stage directions, long italicized paragraph in French and four footnotes.

Randy Wilson This is so much work for merely absurdist reason and makes me think that Joyce was working with a logic which is simply beyond basic human understanding. I will be interested after I finish
