James Joyce Fans Tweet Entire 700+ Page Ulysses For 24 Hours, 140 Characters At A Time

In perhaps one of the most ambitious literary projects Twitter has seen, 71 fans of the classic “Ulysses” are spending today tweeting out this 700+ page tome in an attempt to bridge old and new media and share this literary staple with the tweeting generation.

“Stately, plump Buck Mulligan came from the stairhead, bearing a bowl of lather on which a mirror and a razor lay crossed. Chrysostomos.”

“Stephen Dedalus stepped up, followed him wearily halfway and sat down on the edge of the gunrest, watching him…”

Those are the opening tweets of the newly reimagined “Ulysses”, and they condense 2258 characters (yes, I counted) into 248.
