blueyorkie 's review for:
Ulisses
by James Joyce
I remain perplexed after reading this. I never really managed to flow into the story and get into the book. Moreover, I also noted that I had the impression of having lost something with this new translation for specific passages that I knew from the old translation.
Suddenly, I am quite unable to say what, in this book, prevented me from adhering to it as the supposed quality of this work: lack of culture on my part? The new translation is too pompous and loses the original novel's artistry. Is the overestimation of a job not so essential in the end? Too much expectation on my part, given the dithyrambs that flourish here and there in this novel?
I am at a loss to determine the primordial element of my feelings; only one thing is sure: this novel disappointed me.
