Several scholars read passages that they love and that they like to teach, and then they speak briefly about why the passages move them. A description of Odysseus's reunion with Penelope from Homer's Greek epic poem The Odyssey, a passage from Michael Ondaatje's The English Patient about reading books aloud, and how he writes each passage in a different style, a passage from the Aeolus episode in James Joyce's Ulysses in which Joyce employs the technique of doubling, a passage from the nineteenth-century playwright Georg Büchner's Lenz about the eighteenth-century Latvian poet and playwright Jakob Lenz.
