The length of Ulysses is a crucial part of Joyce's achievement, the creation of this unknown man, who is not a flat character, nor even a rounded character, but a real person. By the adjective 'real' I mean only that Joyce gives his readers more information about Bloom than any other character in the history of literature. We know him better than we know most of our friends.
Complexity and mass are the keys to Joyce's fiction, a fiction that questions cliches of every kind..
Saul Bellow in one of his interviews to 'Paris Review' strangely describes 'Ulysses' as a "masterpiece of confusion"-an eccentric opinion.
T.S. Eliot published his influential, agenda-setting essay in 1923, 'Ulysses, Order and Myth': 'Mr Joyce's parallel use of the Odyssey has a great importance. It has the importance of a scientific discovery... It is simply a way of controlling, of ordering, of giving a shape and significance to the immense panorama of futility and anarchy which is contemporary history.'
