Ulysses
by James Joyce
1922
The modernist behemoth that mapped one day in Dublin – 16 June 1904 – and changed literature for ever. Originally conceived as a short story for his collection Dubliners, written over a seven-year period and banned in the US and the UK for obscenity before it was even published as a complete book, Joyce’s sprawling, stream-of-consciousness take on Homer’s Odyssey is one of the most challenging and rewarding novels written in English.
First sentence
“Stately, plump Buck Mulligan came from the stairhead, bearing a bowl of lather on which a mirror and a razor lay crossed.”
