Ulysses
by James Joyce
The thing about Ulysses is it has all kinds of language. It is a kind of equaliser of language by making the everyday into an epic. You have the language of the pub and of drinking, which is this coarse unliterary language that he makes famous through this book.

“There is more going on in one sentence in Ulysses than there is in most contemporary novels.”
“The archetypal stream of consciousness novel. Joyce didn’t invent the technique, but he makes it flourish in the most extraordinary way.”
“Ulysses is a very brilliant, highly original attempt to put one man’s experience on one day to the pages of a book.”
