Dieser beeindruckende Band ist das Ergebnis der jahrzehntelangen tiefschürfenden Auseinandersetzung des Künstlers Werner Schmidt mit dem literarischen Monument des 20. Jahrhunderts schlechthin: James Joyce' Ulysses.Was als persönliche Lesereise begann, mündet in eine farbgewaltige, interdisziplinäre und polyphone Hommage - ein Werk zwischen Literaturstudie, Farbtheorie, bildender Kunst und sprachlicher Reflexion.Im ersten Teil des Buches analysiert und visualisiert Schmidt die Verwendung der Farben im Ulysses in einzigartigen chromatischen Diagrammen und kodierten Farbstreifen, die in Ausstellungen buchstäblich an die Wand gemalt wurden. Ergänzt wird dies durch eine Fotoserie, aufgenommen in Dublin, dem Schauplatz des Romans, die von pointierten Betrachtungen zu literarischen, linguistischen, politischen und religionsgeschichtlichen Facetten des Joyce'schen Universums begleitet werden.Der zweite Teil versammelt die Stimmen von 20 renommierten Joyce-Forscher*innen, die in fünf thematisch gegliederten Kapiteln ihre Perspektiven auf Farbe, Textur, Struktur und Wirkung des Ulysses teilen. Ein Fest für alle, die Joyce verehren - und ein Geschenk für jene, die Literatur in ihrer kühnsten, leuchtendsten Gestalt nicht nur lesen, sondern begreifen wollen.
