McKnight Kauffer (1890-1954) • Publisher: Random House New York, NY U.S.A. 1934 Joyce is best known for this novel Ulysses (1922), a landmark work in which the episodes of Homer's Odyssey (occurring in Dublin Ireland) are paralleled in an array of contrasting literary styles, perhaps most prominent among these the stream of consciousness technique he liked to utilize. The novel was first partially serialized in magazines between 1918 and 1920, but censors ruled one section published was obscene. This led to the book being banned until after the 1933 court ruling in the United States sought by the publisher Random House. A complete, "unabridged" text, "corrected," and entirely reset edition, with an original letter by the author to the publisher regarding this novel (1932). Includes a copy of the U.S. District Court decision lifting the ban on the novel (1933). Featuring a forward by Morris L. Ernst (Publisher's Attorney) written within a week of that court's ruling. xviii + 768pp. James Augustine Aloysius Joyce (1882–1941) was an Irish novelist and poet. His contributions to modernist avant-garde literature are regarded as some of the most influential. He is now considered among the important authors of the 20th century.
