James Joyce’s Ulysses

A hundred years since it first appeared, Adam Low’s Arena: James Joyce’s Ulysses unlocks Joyce’s masterpiece in all its surprising, poetic, moving, verbose, sexually explicit and endlessly hilarious glory, from its earliest crossed out manuscript pages to the final iconic edition, bound in the blue of the Greek flag in honour of Homer’s The Odyssey. Notoriously difficult to read and written in a bewildering variety of styles it revolutionised the modern novel.
