A twist on the Irish literary classic Ulysses, told through Nicolas
Mahler's distinctive graphic novel style. Dublin, 16 June 1904:
through a day in the life of the advertising agent Leopold Bloom
and the sensations of the ordinary, James Joyce created a maximal
book from a minimum of matter. Ulysses, the most important novel of
modernity, is a defining book of the twentieth century. Joyce's
creation-also spectacularly innovative in form-inspired Nicolas
Mahler to attempt a literary retelling that is not a mere
illustration or adaption of the novel but an independent and
equally as inventive work. Using comics, Mahler transforms the
various literary techniques of the original. He assembles his
images with humorous and philosophical verve, quoting and rambling
along in the spirit of Joyce. With this graphic interpretation of
the modern classic, which also constitutes a homage to the golden
era of the newspaper comic strip, Ulysses can be newly discovered
in a delightfully unexpected form.
