  The Classic Text: James Joyce
Ulysses would not be finished until October of 1921, and was ultimately published in 1922 by Sylvia Beach's Shakespeare and Company, center of Paris's flourishing literary scene.
Ulysses was subsequently banned in the U.S. until 1933, but copies often trickled in clandestinely as its suppression and subsequent publicity assured a wider demand for what was originally a relatively obscure avant-garde text.
Along with the appearance of T.S. Eliot's The Wasteland in 1922, the publication of Ulysses signaled the peak year of modernism, and became the icon of a new literary era.

ulysses is an experimental and exhaustive art work which deploys 18 different narrative strategies to simultaneously produce a portrait of two men, one city, one day and the whole of the human experience.
the apex of modernism, ulysses is intellectual punk, the nemesis of the linear narrative - the beginning-middle-end structure of the fictional prose form - and it is the singularity from which all of 'postmodern' literature explodes.
For what it is worth, 'Ulysses' is, for me, one of the most sublime monuments in world literature, a book unlike any other, and one that deserves a place among the very small number of classics that should be enjoyed for centuries to come.
