Ulysses by James Joyce
James Joyce’s masterpiece, Ulysses, is both a feat and a feast of sheer literary brilliance. the novel is celebrated with increasing popularity in modern times, which is a testament to the lasting greatness of the novel (and to the desire to drink and be merry of all people). Instead of taking a daily life and elevating it to mythical proportions, Joyce has taken mythology and reversed it, shrinking it into an average day, which in turn gives each character and action a heroic sense about them. In this way, even besting drunken nationalists spewing anti-semitic sentiments at a bar can be seen as a legendary conquest.
