Hi Kasper, good luck with Ulysses.
The edition I have found most helpfully annotated is the World's Classics, but
then I haven't frequented all the other editions now available.
Melbourne has a group of enthusiasts who each Bloomsday put on entertainments
round the town involving such things as blacktasselled horses drawing an old
hearse. They made a play from Joyce's letters and what not, but when they went
to Dublin to do it were stopped by the copyright owner and had to write a script
he could not stop...
