One single semester. One demanding class. One hugely important book. This course will lead you on an extended exploration of Joyce's <i>Ulysses</i>. Joyce is intermittently baffling; he's always fascinating; he's frequently hilarious. He's never less than challenging. No prior knowledge of Joyce's works is required, just a willingness to tackle the challenges offered by this wonderful, astonishing, intricate text. <i>The demand that I make of my reader</i>, he wrote, <i>is that he should devote his whole life to reading my works</i>. I think a semester will do. Mainly for the daring.
