Introducing: Ulysses

When our editors first sat down to condense Ulysses, the timeless masterpiece by James Joyce often considered one of the most important novels written in the English language, they immediately realized what an immense task trimming this book would be.  The first problem they encountered - none of them had read Ulysses, nor did they have the time to do so.

Recent studies suggest that 96 to 100 percent of people who claim they have read Ulysses are actually lying.  So with that in mind, Modern Illustrated Classics is proud to introduce Ulysses: The Vague Summary Edition.  We personally guarantee this handsomely bound volume will provide you with just enough information to bluff your way through any short conversation about Joyce's work without actually slogging through the damn thing.  Highlights include:

• Of course I've read Ulysses.
• Such an amazing book.  A real work of art.
• That ending? It completely blew my mind.
• Leopold Bloom was such a fascinating character.
• Pretty crazy that the US government actually burned copies of this book, huh?
• I definitely read this book.

Although only a few pages long, this edition captures exactly the thrill and joy of reading Ulysses - namely, telling other people you have read Ulysses.  Available soon at the finest retailers.
