Pressestimmen
"With their familiar yellow and black striped covers, the guides have helped millions of students through the darkest hours...They have became an American icon."
Kurzbeschreibung
Hailed by many as the best novel of all time, and cursed by just as many as utterly unreadable, one thing's for sure: Ulysses is one of a kind. Those who are willing to take on this behemoth of a book will be rewarded with a trip through almost every variety of human experience under the sun. Summaries and commentaries will keep you on track as you step into the daily life of Stephen Dedalus and Leopold Bloom and watch their stories unfold. In-depth character analysis, critical essays, and insight into the novel's literary devices will help unlock the novel's deeper layers. You'll also discover background information on the life of James Joyce and the creation of this, his most famous work.

This guide was invaluable in helping me to understand Ulysses. I could not have made it through Ulysses without it. Kopper is definitely an intense Joyce fan, who has spent many years studying Joyce and Ulysses.
The most valuable part is his detailed summary of the action in the book (which is the smallest part of Ulysses) in every chapter. The book gives a very in-depth analysis of the style, background, and subtleties of Joyce's manipulation of English.
My only criticism is that Kopper never warns the reader-"This part is a hard part to understand." But, most people will get that by page two of Ulysses anyway.

For those voyaging through the original, but murky, literary waters of James Joyce's novel ULYSSES, the CLIFFS NOTES ON JOYCE's ULYSSES is a superbly helpful guide.
This book contains contains explication on all eighteen sections of ULYSSES, character analyses, and a list of the novel's myriad characters.
If you're going to tackle ULYSSES, take this CLIFFS NOTES guide along.

A good first guide

Format:Taschenbuch
You can read Ulysses without guidance. You can. Certainly it's likely that if you do, you'll miss out on a fair amount of what's going on in the novel. That's not a bad thing, necessarily, as if you're anything like me, Ulysses is a book you'll come back to again and again, and there will be something new, some whole new thread of theme or motif, some new chain of allusion, to grab you anew. It's a novel, and it's a way of reading.
I've read a few Cliffs Notes, and I've written a fair number of Masterplots entries (and other guides and reference works of that ilk), and in my opinion, if used in conjunction with a careful reading of Joyce's novel, Kopper's little book is a nice first guide. It sketches you a map that will carry you through on your first trip. Maybe, if you have the time and interest, you'll reread the novel with Harry Blamires's Bloomsday Book as a companion, or even Gifford's Ulysses Annotated. And Thornton's Allusions in Ulysses. And-- ...
But the Cliffs Notes are quite good for what they are.
When I first read Ulysses 25 years ago, I did it like this: I read an episode, then I read the Cliffs Notes, then I reread the episode, and then I moved on. That's how you'll get the most out of this tool. If you use it for what it's supposed to be and don't let it read the book for you, you could do a lot worse. When I taught the novel, I was pleased to recommend this guide to my students.
In the interest of full disclosure: I first studied Joyce as an undergraduate with Ed Kopper, but as I haven't spoken with him in at least 20 years, I think you can consider this review minimally biased at worst. Enjoy!
