Ulysses
James JoyceDavid Auerbach 📚@mervatim At essay length, I think the first section of Walton Litz's Art of James Joyce is superb. For full books, I always found Stanley Sultan's Argument of Ulysses to be one of the most latitudinal (if quirky) readings. Frank Budgen's book is also very enlightening.

Robert BurtonDavid Auerbach 📚My 2021 Books of the Year. Many greats, but my two top picks are (1) @PenguinClassics new edition of Robert Burton's Anatomy of Melancholy (2) @translationista 's amazing biography of Robert Walser: Clairvoyant of the Small https://t.co/kMjyx6mpKF

Germs: A Memoir of Childhood
Richard WollheimDavid Auerbach 📚@genese_grill @TobiasvRyan It's a very open-ended genre, and easy to do badly. Stendhal's Life of Henry Brulard, Richard Wollheim's Germs, Dinesen's Out of Africa, and especially Illyes's People of the Puszta, which I recently reviewed...these are all great, but wildly different. https://t.co/hafzyAuCai
