Julian Rios: House of Ulysses, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Julián Ríos's The House of Ulysses is at once a serious literary experiment and an accessible guide to James Joyce's imposing masterpiece.

Some say every book is born out of an earlier book. Just as James Joyce'sUlysses unraveled Homer's Odyssey scene by scene, Julián Ríos's The House of Ulysses returns the favor, giving us the story of several bickering characters hoping to get to the bottom of Joyce's masterpiece. Walking the line between a slapstick parody of the Joyce Industry and a legitimate guide for the perplexed, Ríos elucidates Joyce's key ideas, traces his references, and casts new light on his deeply human characters. The House of Ulysses is a playful, punning companion for the experienced Joycean and cautious procrastinator alike: one novel dreaming its way through another.
