The hero is a sticky, artistic young man-a kind of underdone Dedalus-who rebels weakly against the smothering care of his mother. He gets some support from his friend, a medical student with the sour outlook but none of the roistering profanity of Dedalus' Buck Mulligan. But after a week's timorous escape at a seaside resort, the rebel returns and surrenders...
