Very pleased to receive a copy of this by Conor Farrington. I look forward to reading it when I catch my breath: a retelling of Faust set in 1840s Cambridge...

Good news for Roddy Doyle, the chair of this year’s Booker Prize jury, who complained that James Joyce’s Ulysses is ‘overlong’. A Shorter Ulysses will be published by ⁦Galileo Publishers⁩ on 16 October.

To be published on 16 October: A Shorter Ulysses, a companion volume to A Shorter Finnegans Wake. Both volumes are edited by Anthony Burgess and published by Galileo Publishers #jamesjoyce #Bloomsday

Happy Bookshop Day!

Today is the publication day of A Shorter Ulysses, Anthony Burgess’s edition of James Joyce’s novel. It’s a companion piece to his Shorter Finnegans Wake, and is published for the first time from a typescript in the archive of the Burgess Foundation.

It’s publication day for Anthony Burgess’s A SHORTER ULYSSES. He cut it up (literally) so you don’t have to. ‘We are . . . at last free to appreciate its humour and humanity.’ Available now!

Great to see The Maiden Faust (Galileo Publishers) on the Cambridge University Alumni Bookshelf! (and I love the book above mine: "exposes the modus operandi behind the Symphosius Aenigmata, a collection of 100 short Latin riddles preserved from the 5th century...")

We are very pleased to receive finished copies of A SHORTER ULYSSES by James Joyce and Anthony Burgess from ⁦⁦Galileo Publishers⁩
