Ulysses

A masterful introduction to James Joyce’s Ulysses . There is no book like Ulysses , and no book about it quite like this one. Now completely revised to correspond to the definitive new Galber edition, Hugh Kenner’s ULYSSES for the first time becomes widley available in the United States. With characteristic flair, Kenner explores the ways Joyce teaches us to read his novel as Joyce taught himself to moving from the simple to the complex, from the familiar to the strange and new, from the norms of the nineteenth-century novel to the open forms of modernism. Kenner offers new interpretations on a wide range of topics and details, including the Homeric parrallels, the flow of episodes and style, and the enigma of Molly’s final word. Joyceans, teacher, their students, and all other readers will find cause for rejoicing in ULYSSES.
