Happy to announce the results of a new project to take Joyce’s famous Ulysses and render it safe for modern readers.
The 732-page book was published in 1922 before standards of appropriate language were known and enforced.

So for this centennial edition, a team of readers was commissioned to bring this historically and literarily important work up to date.

An additional benefit is that readers will now be able to get through the tome over a cup of tea.
