This is incredible. The reader’s guide, too. I hope they can keep this up for the whole book. Someone get these guys a grant.

really? i sort of like it. it’s a beautifully visual book, and i like that someone has decided to give it a go in this way.
i mean, i wouldn’t suggest reading it instead of the book. and i don’t know that as a piece of art inspired by another piece of art it’s anywhere near as successful as zak smith’s pynchon drawings. or martin rowson’s tristram shandy—a favorite of mine.
but i am pro-this.
think about it this way: one person (the illustrator) is doing an amazingly careful reading of Ulysses. wouldn’t you love to talk to him about the book? think of what he may have seen in the book many of us haven’t.
