So Wikipedia tells me, right on its home page, that on this exact date, back in 1922, Ulysses was first published as a whole. To quote:
"Ulysses is a novel by Irish author James Joyce, first serialized in parts in the American journal The Little Review from March 1918 to December 1920, then published in its entirety by Sylvia Beach on February 2, 1922, in Paris."
That makes the book...hold on...20 plus 80...carry the one...divide by five...add in the two...subtract by another five...to get...88 "published" years old today!

I like that it took almost 3 years to "serialize" it.
