Joyce's Visions
Hudson Review, The, Summer 2004 by Phillips, Brian
Fiction at its greatest allows us to hold a whole world suspended in our minds, bringing into the mind a singular apprehension of what normally lies outside it. Ulysses does this, as Melville writes that fiction should do it, by bringing us nature "unfettered, exhilarated, in effect transformed." It does so with great warmth, good humor, and a compassionate vision of humankind.
Pass by the book's detractors. These qualities are too rare in fiction not to cherish them wherever they are found.
