To commemorate the centenary of the publication of James Joyce's groundbreaking masterpiece, "Ulysses," eighteen distinguished artists, writers, and thinkers have come together to offer their unique perspectives on one of the most influential literary works of the twentieth century. While each essayist possesses expertise in their respective subject matter, what unites them is a profound admiration for "Ulysses." In his essay, Joseph O'Connor delves into the music-saturated Sirens episode, exploring its themes of sensuality and the allure of the sea. David McWilliams, on the other hand, takes us on a thought-provoking journey through the bigotry and violence of nationalism in the Cyclops episode. Rhona Mahony, an Irish obstetrician, responds to the poignant portrayal of childbirth and maternal love in Oxen and the Sun, set in a maternity hospital. Journalist Lara Marlowe examines the bustling atmosphere of a newspaper office in the Aeolus episode, while Irish philosopher Richard Kearney reflects on the profound musings of Stephen Dedalus as he strolls along the scenic Sandymount strand.
"The Book About Everything" is a remarkable counterpoint to the perception that "Ulysses" is solely the domain of academics. Instead, it showcases the diverse and passionate responses of readers to Joyce's masterpiece. This vibrant and eclectic collection is brimming with life and the spirit of Joyce himself. It serves as a testament to the enduring impact of "Ulysses" on literature and culture, inspiring generations of readers and scholars alike.
