Wow. Multiple personalities, must be fun.
I always thought it was strange that Ulysses never made a top 100 seller list, even though 86 million copies of it are sold a year. I think even Faulkner would find that strange.
What does nicholasburrus' better half think?
Faulkner is an original and very American voice in literature. Anything to encourage people to read this funny, moving, incredibly crafted work, I support.

ohrocks Thank You for your supportive Reply.
Faulkner does have a strong voice in literature' American Literature (Old South ideas) I think he is great.
I agree it is funny in some parts and it is kind of a heart Breaking story. Fualkner is a gifted author evan if he is dead.
Abdo, where did you come across that figure?
The Sound and Fury, has infinitely more nuances. I'd like to see Faulkner on the sight.
That figure was in an essay Stephen King wrote in Book magazine (August '03). He was using it as a tool in his argument which was that our generation isn't as stupid as most intellectuals tend to believe. Apparently, Ulysses is taught in hundreds of high schools and in several dozen middle schools throughout the country. &c., &c.Originally posted by sloegin
Abdo, where did you come across that figure?
I was referring to Faulkner rhetorically.Originally posted by nicholasburrus

Got it.
By the way, which edition/s of Ulysses have you read?
I have the Modern Library edition. It's just my preference.
That's what I've got. The '22 reprint looks promising, though I don't know if i can justify it.
