Ulyless

Ulysses by James Joyce

My rating: 2 of 5 stars


I almost finished it but only because I went to a deserted beach for a week by myself with no other books - hardcore. I recently discovered that Joyce's secretary was as blind as a bat and that there are thousands of typos, including the man who is wearing a cat (it is actually hat) caused by this woman's affliction. So when they bring out the new version without typos, I may try again. As to what I read, I found it infuriatingly impenetrable and ludicrous gobbledegook with the odd flash of inspiration or comprehensible scene. Mostly I just wanted to burn it on the beach and cook some shrimp over it. That was what he intended, so I give him two stars for effort.
