Dublin's Joyce

Dublin's Joyce by Kenner, Hugh. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780231066334.

One of the most important books ever written on Uylsses, Dublins Joyce established Hugh Kenner as a significant modernist critic. This pathbreaking analysis presents Uylsses as a "bit of anti-matter that Joyce sent out to eat the world." The author assumes that Joyce wasnt a man with a box of mysteries, but a writer with a subject: his native European metropolis of Dublin. Dublins Joyce provides the reader with a perspective of Joyce as a superemely important literary figure without considering him to be the revealer of a secret doctrine.
