Ulysses by James Joyce

It has been said that were the city of Dublin to be suddenly destroyed, it could be recreated simply from the detail of this novel, all taking place on one day in June 1904. Follow Leopold Bloom on his wanderings through the city, in what is one of the most important works of modernist literature.

It has also been said there are two sorts of people in this world – those who have read Ulysses, and those who haven’t. Have you? If not, can you rise to the challenge?

Ulysses is packed with allusion, parody, satire, puns, jokes, all presented in a stream-of-consciousness style, and with imitations of styles from different periods of English literature. It is considered to be one of the most important works of modernist literature. Join me in exploring this extraordinary novel.

“I hold this book to be the most important expression which the present age has found; it is a book to which we are all indebted, and from which none of us can escape.”
― T.S. Eliot

Bloom’s ordinary day in June 1904

The novel chronicles the adventures and encounters of Leopold Bloom in the course of an ordinary day in June 1904. He eats, shops, posts a letter, frets about the faithfulness of his wife, attends a funeral, masturbates, helps a friend, dines, and goes to bed. The 18 episodes of the book roughly correspond to the action of Homer’s Odyssey (Ulysses is the Latinised name of Odysseus). There are fascinating parallels between the classic poem and the modern novel, and between the characters in each.
