I liked Ulysses
and hate the Tate Modern, and do not "get what the artist was trying to do"

I've tried to read it four or five times
But I just can't get past about Proteus. The Norton Anthology of Literature I have has 2 excerpts from Ulysses - each requires half a page of footnotes, for EVERY PAGE, to make sense of it. This just makes the demands on the reader completely unreasonable. (Finnegans Wake, on the other hand, is 1/3 text, 2/3 footnotes).
