Yeah, the inspiration is the Ithaca chapter of Ulysses. For example:
WHAT PARALLEL COURSES DID BLOOM AND STEPHEN FOLLOW REturning?
Starting united both at normal walking pace from Beresford place they followed in the order named Lower and Middle Gardiner streets and Mountjoy square, west: then, at reduced pace, each bearing left, Gardiner's place by an inadvertance as far as the farther corner of Temple street, north: then at reduced pace with interruptions of halt, bearing right, Temple street, north, as far as Hardwicke place. Approaching, disparate, at relaxed walking pace they crossed both the circus before George's church diametrically, the chord in any circle being less than the arc which it subtends."
Which I loved and love. Joyce's model maybe the Catechism.
But it does all this complicated this and that and the point a view comic and menacing.
So my werk is about the facts in the case of a Vietnam vet who kills himself in a car in Carmel, Ca outside of the bar. An event I allude to elsewhere" "Poor Tim you lost your town the race./But at least you found a parking space."
And a lot of the complex feelings, weird understanding, placings in the alien etc seem to come out this way. Moving towards and then away...

actually my most recent Joyce referent/memoranda/reminiscerolabilia
comes from Dubliners, the story called 'A Painful Case'. I've also
glanced at enough of Finnegans Wake or was it Ulysses to recognise the
frantic majesty of the language here as a tribute-like thing of funny
