Ulysses: A Reader’s Edition by James Joyce, Edited by Danis Rose; 1922/1997. Hardcover.

The text of "Ulysses" has been in dispute since its first publication in 1922, and debates about the authenticity of different editions have become legion. This edition makes use of all the criticisms of earlier texts.

Loosely based on the Odyssey, this landmark of modern literature follows ordinary Dubliners in 1904. Capturing a single day in the life of Dubliner Leopold Bloom, his friends Buck Mulligan and Stephen Dedalus, his wife Molly, and a scintillating cast of supporting characters, Joyce pushes Celtic lyricism and vulgarity to splendid extremes. Captivating experimental techniques range from interior monologues to exuberant wordplay and earthy humor. A major achievement in 20th century literature.
