Ulysses was published in Paris on James Joyce's 40th birthday, 2nd February 1922. When presented with the first reviews, Joyce asked, rather sadly, ‘Did no-one think it was funny?’ We do. We think Ulysses is the funniest, the wisest and the most human book, and on this day together we want to hand you the keys to unlock it, share with you the best bits and invite your own responses to the text.
