Megan Quigley in the New York Times on an illustrated Ulysses

Professor Megan Quigley is quoted in the New York Times on an illustrated Ulysses with illustrations by Eduardo Arroyo:

“I tell my students to find anything they can that will help us to understand Joyce’s master novel — literature or music mentioned, historical references, later novelists influenced by Joyce (like Sally Rooney), maps, charts, previous minds who have tussled and argued and written about Joyce in everything from scholarly articles to blogs and fanfic,” she said in an email. “Joyce’s universe is one for the obsessive reader who will find any clues to chart their way through the novel.”

She added: “I’m happy to throw my hat in to support an edition of ‘Ulysses’ with images.” Full article here.
