Ulysses is a novel by Irish author James Joyce. It is a classic example of Stream of Consciousness literature and is generally considered to be one of the greatest works in the English language.

Plot Synopsis
Ulysses follows the relationships and lives of several people in Dublin, Ireland: Leopold Bloom, Molly Bloom, Stephen Dedalus, and others. The book uses several different narrative techniques, including Interior Monologue, Stream of Consciousness, play script, and several points of view.Critical Reception
Due to a sequence in Ulysses wherein the the character Gerty covertly exposes herself to Leopold Bloom and both characters masturbate, the original serialized publication, Ulysses was attacked and banned in the United States as obscene -- a decision reversed by the Supreme Court in 1933. The novel edition was banned in the United Kingdom until the 1930s. Joyce deliberately peppered the novel with puns, literary allusions, and alliteration, and complicated the book with a non-linear structure in an attempt to "gain immortality." His tactic has succeeded, as the book is one of the most critically analyzed literary works in the English language.
