Slow Reading James Joyce's Ulysses

James Joyce's Ulysses (1922) is hailed as a classic of modernist literature. In our first-ever slow-read series, Literature and Lapdogs will host a reading of the novel. Every week, we will meet to discuss one section of the novel, which divides into 18 parts. We will discuss reactions to the text, some critical responses, and ways in which the novel still resonates with readers today.
