Ulysses is one of the greatest literary works in the English language. In his remarkable tour de force, Joyce catalogs one day June 16, 1904 in immense detail as Leopold Bloom wanders through Dublin, talking, observing, musing and always remembering Molly, his passionate, wayward wife. Set in the shadow of Homer’s Odyssey, internal thoughts Joyce’s famous stream of consciousness give physical reality extra color and perspective.This long-awaited unabridged recording of James Joyce’s Ulysses is being released to coincide with the 100th anniversary of “Bloomsday.” Regarded by many as the single most important novel of the 20th century, the abridged recording by Norton and Riordan released in the first year of Naxos AudioBooks (1994) is a proven bestseller. Now the two return having recorded most of Joyce’s other work in a newly recorded unabridged production, directed by Joyce expert Roger Marsh.
