Ulysses and Us: The Art of Everyday Life in Joyce's

Ulysses and Us: The Art of Everyday Life in Joyce's Masterpiece

Why James Joyce's great modernist masterpiece is in fact a book that can teach ordinary people to live better lives.
Declan Kiberd, a professor of Anglo-Irish literature at the University College Dublin, offers an audacious new take on Joyce's classic novel. Ulysses, he argues, is a work written for and about the common person, offering a humane vision of a more tolerant and decent life in the modern world. In this passionate corrective to the widespread view of Ulysses as an esoteric tome for the scholarly few, Kiberd dispells the aura of academic mystique that has attached itself to the novel, opening our eyes to Ulysses as a celebration of the everyday and a model for living well in an unpredictable world.
