Title: I Needed Help And I Got It
Review: I too, like countless others, could not get passed Proteus, chapter 3, line 1: "Ineluctable modality of the visible...". Complete frustration set in and I felt I had no choice but to set aside Joyce's masterpiece - that is until amazon.com sent me my copy of The New Bloomsday Book - A Guide Through Ulysses. With Harry Blamires' help I was able to make substantial progress in a very difficult but rewarding book. Blamires helped me overcome my initial frustration and understand the masterpiece that Ulysses is. By no means am I now an expert on Ulysses; however, I was able to enjoy Dublin through the eyes of Joyces's famous characters. Oh, how I am looking forward to visiting Dublin again, but on some future June 16th. Take the leap - join those of us who are already fans of Ulysses but let this book be your guide. You will not regret it. By the way - there is a $25 paperback version.
