Chapter 7: Shem the Penman, June 14 Pages 169-195

finally, here we have a chapter that reads somedeal like a Less Unusual piece of novel writing, concerning "Shem the Penman", a shambling and brokedown character who is a writer and we understand to be a stand-in for Joyce.

The chapter starts out with very comical description of Shem and ends with his being regaled by a pair of clerics who run through his life from their point of view.  (at least, this seems to be what is happening.  Along the way we get descriptions of food, etc.

Here's some words for you:
