Perhaps this has happened to you: You’ve picked up a great novel-James Joyce’s Ulysses, Virginia Woolf’s To the Lighthouse, or William Faulkner’s Absalom, Absalom! You launch in, ready to discover treasures in this great work of 20th-century fiction. But the novel is not what you expected. The style is unfamiliar, the narrative is fragmented, and there isn’t a clear plot. It’s like nothing you’ve ever read before. If you finish it, you find yourself unsatisfied. What did it all mean? Or perhaps you don’t finish at all, and find yourself putting it off until “someday.”
Maybe you’ve yet to attempt one of these great novels. You’ve always wondered what you’re missing, but you know these works are famously difficult, and you’ve hesitated to start without a guide to help you find your way through this rich but complex tradition.
