"Joyce's mastery of prose is one full display here; the plot of "Ulysses" is nothing more than a 15-page short story, but through Joyce's absolute virtuoso, this tale of the dull day in the life of several middle class Dubliners in 1904 is transformed into a multifaceted epic of comic absurdity.

"Just buy it and put it on your bookshelf and remember this from the book: “A man of genius makes no mistakes.
