Ulysses

Featured Listen
A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man marked the fiction debut of Irish author James Joyce. This semi-autobiographical novel follows its young protagonist as he struggles with questions of identity, religion, and artistic purpose in Ireland. Joyce's innovative stream-of-consciousness style and vivid portrayal of intellectual awakening established him as a leading literary figure.
Featured Article: The top 100 classics of all time
Before we whipped out our old high school syllabi and dug deep into our libraries to start selecting contenders for this list, we first had to answer the question, "How do we define a classic?" The answer isn’t as straightforward as you might guess, though there’s a lot to be said for the old adage, "You know it when you see it" (or, in this case, hear it). Of course, most critically, each of our picks had to be fabulous in audio. So dust off your aspirational listening list—we have some amazing additions you don’t want to miss.
