To celebrate the centenary of the publication of Ulysses, the most
important literary work of the twentieth century, eighteen artists,
writers and thinkers respond to an episode each of the great
modernist text. Each essayist is an expert in one of the subjects
treated in the novel, but what brings them together is a common
love of Ulysses. Joseph O'Connor considers the music-saturated
Sirens episode and David McWilliams writes about the bigotry and
violence of nationalism on display in Cyclops. Irish obstetrician
Rhona Mahony responds to Oxen and the Sun, set in a maternity
hospital, journalist Lara Marlowe examines the Aeolus episode,
which takes place in a newspaper office, and Irish philosopher
Richard Kearney reflects on the erudite musings of Stephen Dedalus
as he walks along Sandymount strand. The Book About Everything
counters the perception of Ulysses as the sole preserve of
academics and instead showcases readers' responses to the book. It
is a vivid, even eccentric collection, filled with life and Joycean
spirit.
