Naslagwerk/handboek voorUlysses door James Joyce
This work serves as an introduction and companion to reading James Joyce's major work, Ulysses. Killeen discusses each of Ulysses' eighteen chapters, and provides a summary of each episode alongside a correlation between each chapter and Homer's Odyssey. This book also features an overall reading of Ulysses presented in an Afterword, with a brief account of Joyce's life, and an account of the textual and publishing history of the book.

This book is probably of limited use to the Joyce scholar as its analyses barely scratch the surface, but it makes a nice reference guide that's almost as good as Gifford (I'm Irish so I'm familiar with the historical period and didn't need much help with Dublin slang or colloquialisms, so other opinions may vary on this). For me, I got most out of the "Biographical/historical" references and "Select glossary" and paid little attention to "Correspondences" and "Style", which I think is appropriate for a first time read. The "Summary" was useful as a bailout when I got lost in some difficult passages, but you can find this in free online cliff notes.
If I had to buy only one guide, it would probably be Gifford's [b:Ulysses Annotated: Revised and Expanded Edition|882850|Ulysses Annotated Revised and Expanded Edition|Don Gifford|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1348084322s/882850.jpg|13227], but Ulysses Unbound got me 95% of what I wanted and is a lot easier to carry around!
