Serialized first in the Little Review in 1918 and published first in Paris in 1922, although its censorship for obscenity in America and England were not lifted until the mid-1930s.

It (very) loosely follows the episodes of Ulysses from the...

Much of the novel's power comes from Dickens's unequaled skill at making even the most wildly eccentric of characters...
