I just bought Ulysses and it turned out to be huge to the point it is unreadable. Which version should I buy after selling this one?

>> No.6219982

Vintage.

Looks like you bought some shitty Print on Demand version. Watch out for those, they're the biggest scam in the book business these days.

I've heard the Gabler edition is the best.

It is uncomfortable to read, have and use with the annotated version.

that's such a waste of paper. How are you even supposed to read that comfortably?

There's a bit of a controversy surrounding the Gabler edition. He didn't actually select a copytext from any of the manuscripts and created the text from all the available manuscripts.

The 1961 edition seems to me the most accurate and is sold by Vintage. If it's 1922 vs 1966 vs Gabler editions and not just publisher editions, then you'll have to do your own research.

I think the Vintage one is the only that didn't name chapters as to Joyce's preference.
