| Sumario: | The author believes that Irish author James Joyce's source material for the "Oxen of the Sun" episode of his novel "Ulysses" was an evangelist named Billy Sunday.

The author cannot explain how Joyce became aware of Sunday, but he points to a transcript of a sermon that mimics "Ulysses." |
