Critic Reviews

“The greatest novel of the century”

Ulysses changed the stakes of the novel for ever, letting us see how extraordinary the everyday can be by plugging us straight into the minds of its characters, and using language in an electrifying way that only poets had dared to up till then New Statesman
-- Anthony Burgess Observer
The Odyssey, the Divine Comedy and Hamlet whisper their way through its pages: and Ulysses is their equal at every turn -- Simon Barnes The Times
Ulysses, with its comic-epic tapestry, took fiction deeper than ever into the raucous carnival of everyday life Independent
Dirty, blasphemous and unreadable, or one of the greatest novels of the 20th century? No matter what your opinion of it, Ulysses has had a profound influence on modern fiction... Unforgettable Guardian
