Published in 1922, Ulysses established James Joyce as one of the defining voices in literary fiction. Leopold Bloom, Stephen Dedalus, and Molly Bloom move through Dublin on a single June day in 1904 in Joyce's epochal modernist masterpiece, which maps Homer's Odyssey onto the streets and consciousnesses of its characters. Widely considered the greatest novel of the twentieth century, Ulysses transformed what the novel could be. Themes of consciousness, Dublin, mythology run through the work. The book has received recognition from Guardian 100 Best Novels 1922.
