In reviewing this novel Carl Jung said it took place in one single and senseless day on which in all truth nothing happens
Ulysses by James Joyce
Took place entirely on June 1904
Leopold bloom in Dublin
Ulysses is the Latinised name of Odysseus, the hero of Homer’s epic poem the Odyssey, and the novel establishes a series of parallels between the poem and the novel, with structural correspondences between the characters and experiences of Bloom and Odysseus, Molly Bloom and Penelope, and Stephen Dedalus and Telemachus, in addition to events and themes of the early 20th-century context of modernism, Dublin, and Ireland’s relationship to Britain
