Ulysses by Hugh Kenner
A concise, witty critical study that demystifies a notoriously challenging modernist novel by mapping its Homeric architecture, shifting styles, and comic energies while staying close to the textures of a single day in Dublin. Moving episode by episode, it clarifies techniques like interior monologue, parallax, and stylistic pastiche, showing how formal experiment serves a humane vision of ordinary life. It offers practical strategies for reading, highlights the interplay of voices and perspectives, and argues for the work’s coherence, humor, and emotional depth without flattening its complexity.
