Ulysses is a novel by James Joyce. It was first published in 1922, and it's considered to be one of the most important works of modernist fiction.

Ulysses, the story takes place over the course of a single day, June 16th, 1904. It follows the main character Leopold Bloom through his day as he goes about his business and interacts with other characters. The novel is divided into 18 episodes, which are further subdivided into sections. Each episode focuses on a specific character or event. The multiple points of view give readers a unique perspective on life in Dublin at a certain time period. Ulysses is considered a modernist novel because it breaks away from traditional narrative structure: instead of following Bloom from beginning to end, it jumps around in time and place as he goes about his day.
