I highly recommend the audiobook narrated by Jim Norton. Ulysses has a lot of difficult-to-parse writing (such as the last chapter having no punctuation); the audiobook removes that parsing difficulty. It's also a great performance!
- hackcasual 12y agoWow, apparently there are 2 Jim Norton's in the world. Would pay good money to listen to this one narrate Ulysses: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZ5DI0nD24U https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZ5DI0nD24U
- twoodfin 12y agoI'd recommend Frank Delaney's charming, paragraph-by-paragraph, bite-sized Re: Joyce podcast[1] and the excellent 1982 RTE dramatic radio broadcast[2] (also essentially unabridged). Many of the more difficult fragments of Ulysses are made much more lucid when read aloud, and it's a good trick to use while reading the book as well.
