“A new edition of Ulysses is presenting the work under a fresh light…Just as Joyce used an array of styles to write Ulysses, Arroyo deployed a range of techniques to represent the author’s characters as they meander through Dublin…vivid.” —New York Times
“Enchanting.” —The New Yorker
“Arroyo’s playful, colorful works share a palette with the Pop Art prevalent in the 1960s…The effect—of richness within simplicity—suits Ulysses.” —Los Angeles Times
“Ulysses is an infinitely pleasing book. One of the great mistakes about it is that it is somehow too difficult or inaccessible. It is neither. These brilliant illustrations by Eduardo Arroyo celebrate the book in the most profound way, and work as an accompaniment to one of the greatest works of the human imagination that history has ever produced.” —Colum McCann, National Book Award–winning author of Let the Great World Spin
“A gloriously illustrated edition…a handsome, coffee-table-style book that bears eloquent testimony to the inexhaustible capacity of Ulysses to inspire others.” —Irish Examiner
“Wonderful…The dreamy surrealist images [Arroyo] presents to us on the page add a colorful third-dimension quality to Joyce’s novel. They also provide a much-needed bit of breathing space for the reader to occasionally pause and ponder.” —The Independent (Ireland)
“Madness is, of course, part of the appeal of [Ulysses]. A new edition…splendidly adorns the gibberish.” —New Criterion
“Hundreds of full-color illustrations by the late Spanish painter Arroyo distinguish and enrich this hefty…new edition.” —Publishers Weekly
“Elegant…vibrant.” —Hyperallergic
“Aside from being one of the most important Spanish painters of the last fifty years, Eduardo Arroyo has also been a devoted reader and a magnificent writer…[Ulysses is] without a doubt his most ambitious book project.” —El País
“A very special edition of Leopold Bloom’s adventures.”—La Razón
