Ulysses

Novel by James Joyce

Blurb

Ulysses merupakan novel modernis oleh penulis Ireland, James Joyce. Cerita ini pernah menjadi sebahagian daripada siri dalam jurnal Amerika, The Little Review dari Mac 1918 hingga Disember 1920. Kemudian, cerita ini diterbitkan sepenuhnya oleh Sylvia Beach pada Februari 1922 di Paris. Novel ini dianggap sebagai salah satu karya penting dalam kategori kesusasteraan modernis, dan digelar "suatu tunjuk cara dan penjumlahan keseluruhan pergerakan". "Before Joyce, no writer of fiction had so foregrounded the process of thinking." Walau bagaimanapun, penyokong Ulysses seperti Anthony Burgess telah menganggap buku ini sebagai "tersendiri, dan hilang akal".

There are two and a half (almost three reasons) why this book is the Mount Everest of English literature. 1. If you are not Irish and/or Catholic you will not know half the references; 2. If you are not educated and well read, you will not know the other half; 3. Joyce experimented hard and heavy! #3 also makes it absolutely worth reading!

The book is vulgar and almost impossible to follow, at least in audio form. It jumps around, and the narrator is constantly using metaphors involving bodily waste, bodily fluids, and other unpleasant imagery. What anyone could see in this book mystifies me. I also don't understand how ReadGeek recommended it to me, based on other books I've rated. I'm very disillusioned with the ReadGeek recommender algorithm. As a software engineer, I understand how such algorithms are supposed to work, and I consider this a blunder of the first water.
