"This book was crying out to be written." The Irish Times
"Scandalously readable." Literary Review James Joyce's relationship
with his homeland was a complicated and often vexed one. The
publication of his masterwork Ulysses - referred to by The
Quarterly Review as an "Odyssey of the sewer" - in 1922 was
initially met with indifference and hostility within Ireland. This
book tells the full story of the reception of Joyce and his
best-known book in the country of his birth for the first time; a
reception that evolved over the next hundred years, elevating Joyce
from a writer reviled to one revered. Part reception study, part
social history, this book uses the changing interpretations of
Ulysses to explore the concurrent religious, social and political
changes sweeping Ireland. From initially being a threat to the
status quo, Ulysses became a way to market Ireland abroad and a
manifesto for a better, more modern, open and tolerant,
multi-ethnic country.
