It has survived censorship, controversy and legal action, and even been deemed blasphemous, but remains an undisputed modernist classic: ceaselessly inventive, garrulous, funny, sorrowful, vulgar, lyrical and ultimately redemptive. It confirms Joyce's belief that literature 'is the eternal affirmation of the spirit of man'.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'The most important expression which the present age has found; it is a book to which we are all indebted, and from which none of us can escape' T.
