The Oxford World's Classics 1922 text is better in every way though.
>>7667879
lol how nigga.
>>7667882
Not that guy, but it has notes, an introduction, and is more portable. The only thing OP's edition is better in is the cover.
>>7667882
It has all sorts of reference materials like the Gilbert and Linati Schema and a detailed publishing history of the book in it.
So, serious question here...
I've gotten the pretty solid impression from innumerable sources that the best way to read Ulysses is with a guide of some sort. Not even if you're trying to grasp it in an academic sense but to enjoy the book to its fullest you'll need to know the references at the time of its writing and the language used.
My question is, that if the classics are almost unanimously agreed to be classics because of their timelessness and universal themes, how can Ulysses be considered among them if it is anything but?
>>7667913
Its themes are universal. It touches on friendship, marriage, sex, death, guilt, religion, identity, nationalism, poverty etc.
You don't even need reference materials to notice all of these things in it.
>>7667913
it's a book, you don't need a guide to read it wtf
>>7667913
only if you really care about historical references and the layout of cities. You can enjoy it without knowing those things.
>>7667913
read it and you'll find out.

>>7667887
it was $12
>>7667869
Ulysses seems bizarre, almost like its a Greco-Russian inventory-novel, but with a heavy gloss of Westernised Form.
It plays fast and loose but ultimately remains austere due to its demand for structure.

google is hard
this is the only decent edition I could find in stores but its grown on me. I couldn't find a better image of it
>>7667869
couldn't they have just stopped at by James Joyce and put the rest of the back of the cover?
>>7667869
you been to that shakespeare & co?
>>7667996
Nah, you'll be missing Odysseus connection without it. Best way of reading it is just using both or one of the schemas. They are short and easy enough to gasp by titles and characters alone, for anything else you go with Ulysses Annotated.
