I found it to be a great reference while reading Ulysses along side it.
Joyce loved Dublin and Ireland and though the book was written on the European continent - he wanted to memorialize his birth home Ireland. Literary complements like "Ulysses Unbound" can be helpful in understanding Joyce's works. The conclusion of this quest is the quintessential affirmation of humanity, the fundamental family unit - the father, mother, son, and daughter. Like Odysseus, absent from Penelope, traveling the world, for many long years, Leopold Bloom is also absent from his Penelope in Dublin.
Unlike Odysseus, the obstacles Bloom faces are psychological modern - internal travails instead of Odysseus' external travails. For Odysseus: insight, understanding, enlightenment, and all importantly direction come to Odysseus in his journey to the ancient Greek Underworld. Joyce's Circe chapter a surrealistic one-act Ibsen-like play is where Bloom finds self-possession - Joyce makes Bloom encounter his own psycho-sexual existential questions, rather than finding life's answers in the dead ghosts of his life the ancient Greek Hades chapter of the dead past.
