"Ulysses in the Russian Mirror" is a very familiar composition that organically complements the author's many years of work on translating and commenting on Joyce's prose. The text is a reflection of the novel "Ulysses," its "Russian mirror," built, like him, from 18 episodes and three parts. The first part describes Joyce's life and career, the second studies the features of the unique poetics of Ulysses, while the third talks about the connections of the classic's work with Russia. The final 18th episode, perceiving a special "solid" letter and a shameless syllable of the ending of the novel, tells the difficult story of the Russian translation of Ulysses. How this story, like life, is not easy and the episode itself, consisting of a number of alternative versions, written in different years and leading to infinity. The book is being published in full for the first time.
