Nathan "N.R." Gaddis (nathannrgaddis) | 258 comments A few years back Joshua Cohen compiled a list of the XYZ Ulysses :: "Joshua Cohen celebrates the books from Turkey to Argentina that have been called the Ulysses of their own country."

There's a gr=Listopia ::

And I've been adding to it as I encounter similar comments to a similar effect ::

Of Cohen's original list, here's my score ::

to=read
Petersburg -- The Russian Ulysses
Under Milk Wood -- Welsh Ullwsses
The Scarlet Gang of Asakusa -- The Japanese Ulyssese
Past Continuous -- The Israeli Uly

currently
Prae: Vol. 1 -- Hungry Ulysses

read
Berlin Alexanderplatz -- The German Ulyssches
A Mind at Peace -- Turkish U
(But I think it's more a Turkish Proust ; The Disconnected being more the Ulysses)
All About H. Hatterr -- The Indian Ulyssesapada
Larva: A Midsummer Night's Babel -- The Spanish Ulysh
Mrs. Dalloway -- The Brit=U
Adam Buenosayres: A Critical Edition -- Argentine Ulyssaryes
The Devil to Pay in the Backlands -- Devil to Pay to the Ulysses of the Backlands in a Whirlwind
