  Ulysses - The Classic Tale

  James Joyce

  Ulysses is a modernist novel by Irish writer James Joyce. It was first serialized in parts in the American journal The Little Review from March 1918 to December 1920 and then published in its entirety in Paris by Sylvia Beach on February 2, 1922, Joyce's 40th birthday. It is considered one of the most important works of modernist literature and has been called "a demonstration and summation of the entire movement."According to Declan Kiberd, "Before Joyce, no writer of fiction had so foregrounded the process of thinking". Ulysses chronicles the appointments and encounters of the itinerant Leopold Bloom in Dublin in the course of an ordinary day, 16 June 1904. Ulysses is the Latinised name of Odysseus, the hero of Homer's epic poem the Odyssey, and the novel establishes a series of parallels between the poem and the novel, with structural correspondences between the characters and experiences of Bloom and Odysseus, Molly Bloom, and Penelope, and Stephen Dedalus and Telemachus, in addition to events and themes of the early 20th-century context of modernism, Dublin, and Ireland's relationship to Britain. The novel is highly allusive and also imitates the styles of different periods of English literature. Since its publication, the book has attracted controversy and scrutiny, ranging from an obscenity trial in the United States in 1921 to protracted textual "Joyce Wars". The novel's stream of consciousness technique, careful structuring, and experimental prose—replete with puns, parodies, and allusions—as well as its rich characterization and broad humor, have led it to be regarded as one of the greatest literary works in history.

  Ghosting and The Rise of the Ghost 
  "Where is Aureus? He's late, he's never late for an intergalactic summit," said the worried emperor of the universe to his son Valentine. 
  "No one has seen him," Val replied, when in the room walked an elephant, attracting everyone's attention. It wasn't an actual elephant, it was a man, an anomaly. 
  The Emperor saw him and walked over to him and spoke to him as a friend. 
  "Hello Ghost, why are you here?" asked the emperor puzzled. 
  "I don't know, I feel I'm meant to be here somehow?" said the Ghost. 
  "You are," said the emperor, "I didn't expect to see you like this." 
  "Me either, the last thing I remember was dying," said the Ghost. 
  "Been there, done that," said Val offhandedly. His father smiled. 
  "What? Are you a ghost too?" asked the Ghost. 
  "No, a zombie," said Val. 
  The Ghost screamed. 
  "Not that sort of zombie!" said Val insulted. 
  "He's harmless," said the emperor, chuckling. 
  In walked a man dressed as the Ghost. Stella looked awkwardly at him. "Excuse me Gramps, I have to talk to someone," said Stella. "Ok, have a good night, Stella," said the celestial emperor. She walked over to the Ghost. "What are you doing?" said Stella. "I'm coming to the masked ball in style," said the Ghost. "In style, what are you going to do rob it?" said Stella. "Rob it?" said the Ghost, offended. "Why are you dressed as the Ghost?" asked Stella. "I was hoping to see Rogue Star," said the Ghost. Rogue Star was Stella's secret name as a local superhero. No one knew who she was. "Why?" asked Stella, frowning. "Do I need a reason?" said the Ghost. "Nice outfit, Aureus," said a voice behind them. "Hi, am I that obvious?" said the Ghost. "Actually, yes," said Stella. "Well, I had to try, I wanted to meet Rogue Star," said Aureus.
