<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Offering an audacious new take on Joyce's classic modern novel "Ulysses," Kiberd argues the novel is not an esoteric tome for the scholarly few but rather a work written both about and for the common person, and explains how it can teach readers to live better lives.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Declan Kiberd, a professor of Anglo-Irish literature at the University College Dublin, offers an audacious new take on Joyce's classic novel. <em>Ulysses</em>, he argues, is a work written for and about the common person, offering a humane vision of a more tolerant and decent life in the modern world. In this passionate corrective to the widespread view of <em>Ulysses</em> as an esoteric tome for the scholarly few, Kiberd dispells the aura of academic mystique that has attached itself to the novel, opening our eyes to <em>Ulysses</em> as a celebration of the everyday and a model for living well in an unpredictable world.<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br>"A feast. This book will reach and move many ordinary and extraordinary readers."-Edna O'Brien "The most exciting book I know on the most exciting novel ever written. Declan Kiberd's brilliantly informed and highly entertaining advocacy liberates Joyce's greatest book from the dungeon of unreadable masterpieces and restores it to being what its maker intended: a treasury of joys, a guide to enlightened living. Ulysses, finally, is a book about a friendship between a sometimes difficult young genius and a man made wise by life. No novel ever had a more understanding friend than Declan Kiberd."-Joseph O'Connor, author of Redemption Falls and Star of the Sea<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>[Kiberd is] one of our liveliest and most iconoclastic intellectuals. . . . Whether or not <em>Ulysses</em> is an example of wisdom literature, <em>Ulysses and U</em>s certainly is.--John Banville "Irish Independent"<br><br>Kiberd's book--lucid, learned, free of jargon and pretension--can make for a wonderful companion along the journey through Joyce's wondrous epic.--Sudip Bose "American Scholar"<br>
