Den 16. juni 1904 vandrer Leopold Bloom rundt i Dublins gader, imens hans kone Molly morer sig på kryds og tværs med andre mænd hjemme i ægtesengen. Leopold Bloom er blevet gjort til en ufrivillig hanrej, og hvad andet kan han gøre end at lade sine skosåler slide af vejen, blive ydmyget mellem husmure og på beværtninger og gemme sig i den ene erindring efter den anden efterhånden som de dukker op i Dublins våde tåge. Leopold Bloom er det 20. århundredes Odysseus, men i modsætning til Homers antikke krigerhelt, er Bloom en moderne antihelt.

W. E. B. Du Bois considered his first novel, The Quest of the Silver Fleece, to be an “economic study” of the post-Reconstruction relationship between the North and the South, but this first foray into fiction proves itself to be much more than that.

"Les enfants, les bébés, ils les appellent les "petitous". Et c’est vrai qu’ils sont des petits touts. Qu’ils sont un peu de leur mère, un peu de leur père, un peu des grands-parents, un peu de ceux qui sont morts, il y a si longtemps. Tout ce qu’ils leur ont transmis, caché, inventé. Tout. C’est pas toujours facile d’être un petit tout, d’avoir en soi autant d’histoires, autant de gens, de réussir à les faire taire pour inventer encore une petite chose à soi."
