The Cast of Characters: A Reading of Ulysses
[A] brilliant work of criticism. . . . By examining the actions, statements and thoughts of Stephen Dedalus, Leopold and Molly Bloom and a few of the minor characters, Mr. Schwaber reveals their rich inner lives, thereby making them seem not only more complex than any peasant, but also very nearly as layered and contradictory as readers of Ulysses may seem to themselves. . . . More than anything else, The Cast of Characters is worthwhile as an aid to reading Ulysses.  --Christopher Lehmann-Haupt, New York Times
