Ulysses is the best book of the 20th century

Ranked #1 by the largest US publisher (PRH), #JamesJoyce’s magnum opus is a must-read

So why did Joyce claim to “steal” it? (🧵⅓)

This week’s Copus.io creator spotlight: author of the inspiring work, #ÉdouardDujardin

Dujardin’s “Les Lauriers Sont Coupés” may have been Joyce’s inspiration

Joyce even signed a copy of #Ulysses sent to Dujardin with the message:

“The Impenitent Thief”

So… what exactly did Joyce steal?

In Le Monologue intérieur, Dujardin describes the “stolen” style:

“The innovation of interior monologue … [was] flux of thoughts … without [logical] linkage”
