Joyce's Ulysses published in Paris
1922
Sylvia Beach's little English-language bookshop issued James Joyce's dense, ribald novel of one Dublin day after publishers in London and New York balked at obscenity laws. Readers found Leopold Bloom eating kidneys, thinking about his wife's infidelity, and walking across a city that was also the inside of a mind. Modernism had its Bible.
